S – Jesus came near and said to them, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

Matthew 28:18 CSB

O – Authority: ĕxŏusia,  privilege, i.e. (subj.) force, capacity, competency, freedom, or (obj.) mastery; delegated influence:— authority, jurisdiction, liberty, power, right, strength.

The New Strong’s Dictionary of Hebrew and Greek Words 

Jesus states that all power and influence has been given to him in heaven (God’s realm) and earth (satan’s realm). 

A – It is an important principle to understand that Jesus has all authority because of the victory of the cross.  It gives us the foundation to grow in our faith and to stand on His Word as truth.  It gives us the confidence that God is limitless and has no peer/rival.

R – Lord, there is nothing that compares to you.  Jesus claimed all authority through his crucifixion, death and resurrection.  I want to walk in your authority as your child to accomplish what you have for me today.  Let me walk in humility, courage and confidence demonstrating love for You and others.
