Jesus explains that God has given him all authority in heaven and on earth. "Go, therefore," Jesus urges them, "and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you." (Matthew 28:18-20) Yes, not only is Jesus alive but he is still interested in having the good news preached.
All of Jesus' followers-men, women, and children-receive this same commission to make disciples. Opposers may try to stop their preaching and teaching, yet Jesus assures them: "All authority has been given me in heaven and on earth." What does that mean for his followers? He tells them: "Look! I am with ou all the days until the conclusion of the system of thinbgs." Jesus does not say that all who share in preaching the good news will be enabled to do miraculous workds. Still, they will have the backing of holy spirit.
