| Question | Answer |
| Each of the four Gospels concludes with | a command or teaching concerning the mission to which Jesus committed His followers |
| Although Mark is probably the earliest of the four Gospels. The Great Commission in Mark was | written after the the Gospels of Matthew, Luke and John and included later in Mark. The earliest manuscripts of Mark don't contain it. |
| The Gospel of Mark was authored by John Mark, but his original source is probably | Peter |
| Matthew probably wrote his Gospel while | leading the church in Antioch |
| Matthew's identification of Jesus as "the son of David, the son of Abraham" | reflects Christ's fulfillment of the messianic promises to David and to Abraham |
| An analysis of the Great Commission in Mark and Matthew reveals | strong agreement in the areas of going, proclaiming and baptizing |
| Luke and Acts are | two parts of one whole, divided into components dictated by the limits of scroll length |
| The salvation message can best be summarized as | the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ to accomplish the forgiveness of sins |
| John's Gospel, in relation to the other Gospels, is best described as | supplemental to the others, with much unique material |
| The central role of preaching in fulfilling the Great Commission | is a call for all believers to personally share the gospel with the lost |
| Does the familiar command in Mark 16:15 fully express the Great Commission? (Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to all creation) | No. Jesus' commands and instructions to His followers in all four Gospels must be studied in order to grasp the Great Commission |
| What do textual differences between the final verses in Mark and the rest of the Gospel suggest? | Mark is not the author of those verses, and they were added later to the text. |
| Does evidence for later additions to Mark suggest that those verses should be attributed less authority. | No. The full text of Mark gained recognition and acceptance by the early church as authoritative and inspired |
| What was the setting in which Matthew likely wrote his Gospel, and how did that environment shape his message? | As a pastor in the Antioch church, Matthew wrote his Gospel with a likely focus on evangelizing Gentiles in the city's cosmopolitan environment and by extension, the Gentile world |
| What three key ideas connect the Great Commission in Mark and Matthew? | Both Gospels communicate the need for believers to take the gospel to the lost (go), to proclaim the gospel, and to baptize converts (Go, tell, baptize) |
| How does the Great Commission embrace Old Testament truth? | Jesus said that the Law and the Prophets and the Psalms speak of Him and are fulfilled in Him. The Great Commission calls for the proclamation of the fulfillment of Old Testament truth through Christ. (Jesus fulfilled the OT) |
| What is the simplest way to express the content of the Gospel? | The gospel points to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ and His purpose in giving His life -- to take away sin. (Jesus lived, died, rose to conquer sin and give us new life) |
| What distinguishes the Gospel of John as unique? | It's material is supplemental to the three Synoptic Gospels; more than ninety percent of its content is found only in John |
| What dividing line does the Great Commission create in the history of salvation? | It forms the completion of Christ's redemptive mission and the beginning of the church's evangelistic mission |
| Why is it necessary that believers personally communicate the gospel? | Publicly preaching and personally proclaiming the gospel are the primary means God has chosen to offer His gift of salvation to the lost |
