“Jesus said to him, ‘You have said so. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.’” – Matthew 26:64
In identifying Himself here with the prophecy of Daniel 7:13-14, Jesus makes clear that He is the eternal and ultimate king who will be given authority over all the earth. For this confession He will be killed, but that will simply serve to inaugurate and prove His authority. After His execution and resurrection, Jesus will declare that all authority on earth and in heaven has been given to Him forever and ever.
What are we to do about this declaration? Make disciples! Because Jesus is the Son of Man, ruling and reigning over all the earth from heaven above, we are to make new followers of Him as we go, where we go, when we go. We are to introduce people to Jesus, baptize them into His divine name (Father-Son-Holy Spirit), and teach them to obey everything He commanded.
We know what we must do. Now it’s time to do it!
