Day 8 – All Power is Given Unto Me In Heaven and In Earth

Part 8/19: 40 Days with the Risen Christ

The Risen Christ declares all power is given unto Him

Words of the Risen Lord

All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Matthew 28:18 (KJV)

The Moment

After His Resurrection, the Savior appeared to the Eleven in Galilee, as He had directed them. Standing in their midst, the Risen Lord declared, “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” (see Matthew 28:18).

Christ had descended below all things and ascended above all things. His victory was complete. His authority was now absolute across heaven and earth.

Insights from Scripture and Prophets

In this brief statement, Christ affirms that He is not only the Savior, but the sovereign King. His Resurrection is not just personal. And yet, He stands among His disciples—near, familiar, full of grace and truth.

President Russell M. Nelson taught:

“Jesus Christ has all power. He has all power to heal, to comfort, to strengthen, to restore, and to save.”
President Russell M. Nelson, April 2022 General Conference

Because Christ has all power, no darkness is permanent. No injustice will stand forever. No death will remain unconquered. His triumph guarantees our hope.

When the Risen Christ says, “All power is given unto me,” He invites us to trust Him—not only in eternity, but in every detail of today.
