Matthew 9:35-10 | What Makes An Apostle?

What exactly is an apostle? What authority comes with that calling, and how much of what we associate with apostleship actually comes from Scripture?
As we prepare to work through Jesus' instructions to the Twelve apostles in Matthew 10, I begin with an overview of the entire commission and then take a closer look at something in the opening verses that raises some important questions.
There are assumptions about apostleship and spiritual authority on both sides of the continuationist–cessationist debate that I believe deserve to be challenged. And one of the Twelve presents a particularly interesting problem for some of those assumptions.
What does it mean to be commissioned and sent by Jesus? What does it mean to be given authority? And what can we legitimately conclude when God uses someone in ministry?
Let's examine the text in context and consider what it actually tells us.
