And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Three power packed verses. First, the Lord Jesus Christ declares that He has all authority in the Creation. Secondly, He, therefore, commands me to make disciples everywhere my foot treads, to baptize in the Name of the LORD, God, the Almighty, those who accept Him as Lord and Master and to teach all that He has taught. Thirdly, I have His assurance that He is with me until the end of time.

As a disciple of Jesus Christ, one who acknowledges His authority, I have these verses as a letter of credence from the LORD, God, the Almighty to carry out His directions for the advancement of His Kingdom on earth. I do not need to be ordained by a denomination or any other instrument of man's devising; I do not need to be a graduate of the proper seminary; I only need to acknowledge Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I am Ambassador John Nunnikhoven, appointed to the Court of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.
