The Words Jesus Used on His Departure Mark 16:15-18The Lord's Great Commission. this was the first appearance of Jesus to all the disciples.

He had undergone an extremely busy day, encouraging those who had needed special attention and sending word of His resurrection to the disciples. They were hovered behind closed doors in fear of the Jews. Jesus needed to send word of His resurrection to them bit by bit so they would be prepared to see Him risen and in His resurrected body. The evil of men, of nature, and of spirits can be so threatening to the believer that the believer's witness would be stopped if God did not provide His strength and power. This is the point of this passage. God does give power to the believer—all the power necessary to carry the gospel "into all the world" and "to every creature."
