The following statements by Jesus come at or near the end of the two Gospels, Matthew and Mark:
And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Matthew 28:18-20 (ESV)
“This gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”
Matthew 24:14 (ESV)
And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.”
Mark 16:15 (ESV)
It’s impossible to miss just how far and wide the Gospel of Jesus has spread. With the Gospel has gone the New Testament, the divinely-inspired text of that message.
- In your workbook, record some of the ways you’re familiar with that the New Testament has gone into all the world. (Examples: Copies of the Bible or New Testament sent by your church to another country, new translations of the New Testament being produced, etc.)
