AUTHORITY IN JESUS’ NAME
Jesus left the believers the authority to use His name to continue doing His work. He gave to every man his work. That means we each have a work to do!
For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. Mark 13:34.
In 1 Corinthians 9:1, Paul told the people that they were his work in the Lord! He worked and won souls to the kingdom of God. Work is also called labour. Read more about labour (Romans 16:6 & 12). There are not too many like Dorcas and certainly not too many like Epaphroditus:
Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did. Acts 9:36.
Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me. Philippians 2:30.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 5:16.
