Matthew #10: The Commission of the Committed
This lesson considers Jesus’ selection and commissioning of His twelve disciples to be sent out to extend His reach into the world. Jesus teaches them about the cost of discipleship, and the need to be kingdom focused. He empowers them for ministry and commissions them to preach the kingdom of heaven. Jesus also gives them faith lessons to sustain them in their work.
About this Plan
The first four books of the New Testament are called “gospels,” which means “good news.” They are fundamental to the revelation of God’s eternal plan to redeem and save lost humanity. They are often called biographies for they each tell the story of Jesus, his birth, ministry, death, and resurrection. The good news of the Gospels is that Jesus has come, that he is both Savior and King, and people can know this is true because God has raised him from the dead. This section specifically focuses on the longest of the four Gospels, the Gospel of Matthew.
