Jesus's authority

V4

Jesus: As the earth shakes, an angel from the Heavens makes his way to the tomb. The petrified soldiers can only feel the primal fear crawling through their bones. While one by one faint, they wonder who really was the man in the tomb? Why do the Heavens feel the need to come to his rescue? They wonder why, among all men, God loves this man from the cross? Yet, they didn't know that the reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have the authority to lay it down and the authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father. I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Therefore, God has highly exalted me and bestowed on me the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth. Every tongue confesses that I'm Jesus Christ the Lord, to the glory of God the Father!
