Jesus Leaves Disciples with The Great Commission
When the resurrected Jesus spoke the The Great Commission to his disciples, he didn't ask them to consider the idea of going and making disciples, nor did he ask them to pray about it. In fact, Jesus didn't allow room for questions, arguments or misinterpretations. When Jesus said "Go" he meant immediately and didn't provide an opportunity for the disciples to think he was speaking of a future mission.

While God originally instituted animal sacrifice as a way of providing ceremonial cleansing for His people, those sacrifices were not able to cleanse man's conscience from the effects of sin. Only the blood of Jesus Christ could remove the stain. The author of Hebrews taught in his letter that only by becoming a human could Jesus die, and it was only through his death that the power of Satan could be broken.

King David Wrote Prophetically About the Image of Jesus as the Unbroken Savior
Jesus allowed Himself to endure the most agonizing event of His life because of His Father's promise to preserve Him, and to resurrect Him at the appointed time. Despite the enemyâs efforts to crush Him, the very foundation upon which Jesus was built remained unshaken. The brutality of the Romans, the hatred of the Jews, and the determination of Satan could not break the Pillar of truth.
