The oft quoted verse 19 "Go ye . . . . . and teach all nations" etc. frequently omits the

word `therefore'. Because "all power" was His, therefore could they go. Whilst Christ

lived on earth, He told them not to go into the way of the Gentiles, but only to the lost

sheep of the house of Israel, but, in Resurrection Power, He now includes the nations.

Heaven and earth are worlds linked together very often with reference to the Millennial

Kingdom, and Christ stands here, in the consciousness of the fact that He is yet to be the

King on God's Holy Hill. The word "power" is frequently connected with Resurrection

and the Second Coming, see Matt. 6: 13; 24: 30; 26: 64; Mark 9: 1; Romans 1: 4;

I Cor. 15: 43; II Cor. 13: 4; Eph. 1: 19; Phil. 3: 10 (these passages use a different

word); Luke 4: 6; John 10: 18; Eph. 1: 21; 3: 10; 6: 12; Col. 2: 10, 15 (in these

passages the same word is used as in Matt. 28:).

Oh for grace, even now, to remember with Whom all power is found and to "cease

from man" and "lean" upon the Lord.

The above words were uttered by David in the midst of daily conflict (verses 1, 2).

Trust in the Lord, is very closely related to trust in His Word. Immediately after David

says "I will trust in THEE", he adds, "In God I will praise His WORD" and balances it

with "In God I have put my trust" (4). Trust in the Lord and His Word dispels fear, even

before deliverance itself comes. This was David's experience as may be seen from

verses 10 and 11:
