Episode Description

Mathew 28:16-17:Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them. When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted. And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go herefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,  teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

Would you have believed that despite the demonstration of the supernatural power of God at the grave of Jesus which include - earthquake, angels descending to roll away the stone, the body physically out of the grave, Jesus appearing and disappearing right before their eyes, yet some of the disciples still doubted and Jesus did not bother. He left them with their doubt. He did not attempt to prove a point to those who doubted. 

He simply proceeded to say, All authority has been given to him and that was what matters. I can imagine the Lord Jesus saying: Your doubt or baseless assumption has no relevance to the authority and power that has been given to me. 

Jesus would careless about the negative opinion or doubt of his own disciples. With the power given to him, he gave them a mandate to go and take over the world. He would not wait for all to be convinced before sending them out in His authority and power. 

To attempt to prove a point would have not yielded any positive result until this day and those who would have been commissioned to do the assignment would have been held back for nothing. 
When you overcome the temptation of trying to prove a point to satisfy the desires and lust of the flesh, you careless about those who doubt, assume or even desire you to prove yourself to satisfy their carnal desires.
