It all boils down to this...

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. 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.” (Matthew 28:16-20 ESV) In a very real sense, the Resurrection is the climax in the Incarnation of Christ - He has won the victory. But the Epilogue is the part that pulls everything together: when the dust all settles, what difference does it make? How is it more than just an exciting story? Jesus tells us: He has all authority. What He has done can and will make a difference here and for eternity in the life of everyone who will trust and follow Him. What that means for us is simple: take it to the streets; let them know; live it and let it be known.
