description: Everybody who follows Jesus will encounter a myriad of authorities that directly challenge the authority of Christ. These other authorities may be parents teachers bosses presidents institutions religions or ideologies. In order to stay firm in devotion to Jesus we must believe that He has supreme authority over all. Not partial authority not most authority all authority .On the basis of his authority he commissioned his people to go and make disciples among every people group on earth. This is an impossible commission if it were not for the promise that he is with them forever. The doctrine of the supreme authority of Christ not only upholds the work of the church it is the central message that the church preaches. Jesus is Lord is good news!Joey Shaw is the International Field Office Director for the Austin Stone Community Church and a regular contributor at Verge. Joey and his family live outside the United States where they serve unreached peoples for the glory of Christ.
