Back in Genesis God said to Abraham "all nations on earth will be blessed through you" (Genesis 12:3). The Great Commission is part of the fulfillment of that promise. Jesus had said He would meet with the disciples (28:10) in Galilee, this was a meeting with a purpose.
All authority has been given to Jesus. We need to remind ourselves of this. We are not serving an idea nor a philosophy, but we are serving the King.
It is because Jesus has all authority that we are to make disciples of all nations. It was always God's plan that all people's be blessed, Jesus is the fulfillment of that plan.
Disciples are baptized in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and they are taught to obey all that Jesus has commanded. We need God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Jesus is with us always. Note that this promise is tied in to the Great Commission. The more we do for Jesus the more of His presence we will experience.
