Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. (Matthew 28:16-18 ESV)
When the apostles had seen the risen Christ a few times, each time they believed more. But some of them still doubted, still lacked confidence. It still did not all connect that if Christ had risen, He also could carry through on His other promises - that He had authority over life and death, just like He had shown them His authority over the sea and the demons and all the wisdom of men. ALL Authority. That makes Him the One and only in whom we can trust; we can have confidence in Him and what He tells us to do.
