Jesus called His twelve disciples to Him and gave them authority.
Have you ever wanted to be the person in charge of something, but lacked the authority? In the past, I’d served as a CEO of a company and had some very desirable executive privileges and the authority that comes with the title. Beneath the privileges and authority, however, were sleepless nights, stressful situations and challenging business decisions. On the surface, I might look smooth and unruffled, but inside I'd be struggling with decisions that could effect the company and it's employees. It can be tough to see at times, but authority comes with many burdens. From Matthew 10:1 we learn that the disciples were given authority by Jesus. Christ is willing and able to give you authority and responsibility, but you'll have to work at gaining wisdom from Him before He'll give it to you the authority you desire.
