Today we continue learning about what happened between when Jesus rose and Jesus' Ascension. We will discuss what Jesus tasked his Disciples with and what that means for Christians today. Next week we will discuss the actual ascension, but this week I really wanted to focus on what is called The Great Commission or in easier language, the Big Job that Jesus laid out for Christians shortly before he ascended into heaven.
Read: Matthew 28:16-20 , Mark 16:15-18, and Luke 24:44-48. Once you have read those we are going to compare these three.
Things to think about:
While all of the stories tell the same story, why do you think things might be a little bit different from one to another?
We have generally been pulling our Lessons from the book of John, why do you think we did not use John here?
What does it mean to "make disciples of all nations"?
What do you think about the signs given in Mark?
What do you think the Power they will be clothed in from on high is ?
Is there anything else you noticed that you have questions about? If so let us know HERE.
