![Page 2: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
PART THREE: THE PLACE:
ALL THE WORLDThe five accounts of the Great Commission are
in: Matthew 28; Mark 16;
Luke 24; John 20; Acts 1.
![Page 3: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
There are ten subjects relating to the Great Commission in
these five chapters. Notice three points that will
help us understand the importance of this third lesson.

1 - The significance of Jesus’ words.
Matt All nationsMarkAll the world-Every creature
Luke Among all nations, (KJV)
Acts To Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, all the earth
![Page 5: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
All these terms were used by the Lord in His teaching during the forty days after His resurrection.
![Page 6: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
These terms are fitting because He died for all people in all places during all of history
1 John 2:2 NET and he himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins,
and not

only for our sins but also for the whole world.
John 1:29 NET On the next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of
God who takes away the

sin of the world! John 3:16 NET For this is the way
God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him will not
perish but have eternal life.
![Page 9: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Galatians 3:25 NET But now that faith has come, we are no
longer under a guardian. 26 For in Christ Jesus you are
all sons of God through faith. 27 For all of you
![Page 10: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew
nor Greek, There is in this sonship by faith in Christ, no
class
![Page 11: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
privileged above another, as the Jews under the law had been above the Gentiles there is
neither slave nor free, Christ alike belongs to both by faith;
whence he puts

“slave” before “free.” there is neither male nor female rather,
as Greek, “there is not male and female.” There is no distinction into male and
female. Difference of
![Page 13: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
sex makes no difference in Christian privileges. But
under the law the male sex had great privileges. Males
alone had in their body circumcision, the sign of
![Page 14: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
the covenant (contrast baptism applied to male and female
alike); they alone were capable of being kings and priests,
whereas all of either sex are now “kings and
![Page 15: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
priests unto God” they had prior right to inheritances.
In the resurrection the relation of the sexes shall cease for all of you are
one in Christ Jesus.
![Page 16: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Greek, “one man”; masculine, not neuter, namely “one new
man” in Christ (JFB) 29 And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendants, heirs

according to the promise. Titus 2:11
NET For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people. 12 It trains us to
reject godless ways and worldly desires and to
![Page 18: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present
age, 13 as we wait for the happy fulfillment of our hope in the glorious appearing of
our great God and
![Page 19: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Savior, Jesus Christ. 14 He gave himself for us to set us free
from every kind of lawlessness and to purify for himself a
people who are truly his, who are eager to do good.
![Page 20: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Romans 1:16 NET For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is God's power for salvation to everyone who believes, to the
Jew first and also to the Greek. Here the Greek
![Page 21: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
refers to anyone who is not Jewish. (NET Notes)
It is His will for all of us to be saved. 1 Timothy 2:4 NET since he wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
![Page 22: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
2 Peter 3:9 NET The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as
some regard slowness, but is being patient toward you,
because he does not wish for any to perish but for
![Page 23: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
all to come to repentance.Revelation 22:17 NET And the Spirit and
the bride say, "Come!" And let the one who hears say:
"Come!" And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one

who wants it take the water of life free of charge.
2 -The example of the early church.
Acts 1-7 They started in Jerusalem and Judea, just
![Page 25: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
as Jesus had commanded in the Great Commission
Acts 8 They were scattered to many other places due to persecution, but they took
the gospel with them.
![Page 26: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Acts 9-28 Luke’s account quickly
moves to examples of preaching and teaching in many other parts of
the world.
![Page 27: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
3 -Points for us to observe.
There is no distinction in Christ. Galatians 3:28 NET There is neither Jew …Greek…
slave… free… Male… female for all … are one
in Christ Jesus.
![Page 28: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Colossians 3:10 NET and have been clothed with the new man that is being renewed in knowledge according to the image of the one who created it. 11 Here there is
![Page 29: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised,
barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ
is all and in all.
![Page 30: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Romans 1:16 NET For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is God's power for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the
Greek. 17 For the
![Page 31: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
righteousness of God is revealed in the gospel
from faith to faith, just as it is written, "The righteous by faith
will live."
![Page 32: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Romans 9:23 NET And what if he is willing to make known the wealth of his glory on the
objects of mercy that he has prepared beforehand for glory
24 even us, whom
![Page 33: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
he has called, not only from the Jews but also from the
Gentiles? 25 As he also says in Hosea: "I will call those who
were not my people, 'My people,' and I will call
![Page 34: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
her who was unloved, 'My beloved.' “ (Hos 2:23) 26 "And in the very place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' there they will be called 'sons
of the living God.' "(Hos 1:10)
![Page 35: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
10:1 Brothers and sisters, my heart's desire and prayer to God on behalf of my Fellow
Israelites is for their salvation. 2 For I can testify that they are
zealous for God,
![Page 36: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
but their zeal is not in line with the truth. 3 For ignoring the
righteousness that comes from God, and seeking instead to
establish their own righteousness, they
![Page 37: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 For Christ is the end of the law, with
the result that there is righteousness for everyone
who believes.
![Page 38: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
10:12 For there is no distinction between the Jew and the
Greek, for the same Lord is Lord of all, who richly blesses
all who call on him.13 For everyone who calls on
![Page 39: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
the name of the Lord will be saved. (Joel 2:32) 14 How are they to call on one they have not believed in? And how are they to believe in one they
have not heard of?
![Page 40: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
And how are they to hear without someone preaching to
them? 15 And how are they to preach
unless they are sent? As it is written, “How timely is the
arrival of those who
![Page 41: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
proclaim the good news.” (Isa 52:7;
Nah 1:15) 16 But not all have obeyed the good news, for
Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” (Isa 53:1) 17
Consequently faith comes
![Page 42: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the
preached word of Christ. 18 But I ask, have they not heard?
Yes, they have: Their voice has gone out to all
![Page 43: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.
(Ps 19:4) Their voice (that of the preachers of the gospel) has
gone out to all the earth. When the vast multitude converted
![Page 44: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
on Pentecost were scattered to their homes, they carried the gospel into all parts of the civilized world. Paul was now writing to the church in Rome, where
![Page 45: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
no apostle had ever been. (PNT) 19 But again I ask, didn't Israel
understand? First Moses says, “I will make you jealous by those who are not a nation;
with a senseless
![Page 46: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
nation I will provoke you to anger.” (Deut 32:21) 20 And Isaiah is
even bold enough to say, “I was found by those who did not seek me; I became well
known to those who
![Page 47: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
did not ask for me.” (Isa 65:1) 21 But about Israel he says, “All day
long I held out my hands to this disobedient and stubborn
people!” (Isa 65:2)
![Page 48: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Romans 11:9 And David says, “Let their table become a snare
and trap, astumbling block and a
retribution for them; 10 let their eyes be darkened so that
they
![Page 49: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
may not see, and make their backs bend continually.”
(Ps 69:22-23) 11 I ask then, they did not stumble into an
irrevocable fall, did they? Absolutely not! But by their
transgression
![Page 50: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make Israel jealous. 12 Now if their
transgression means riches for the world and their
defeat means riches for the
![Page 51: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Gentiles, how much more will their full restoration
bring? 13 Now I am speaking to you Gentiles.
Seeing that I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify
my
![Page 52: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
ministry, 14 if somehow I could provoke my people to jealousy and save some of them. 15 For
if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world,
what will their
![Page 53: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
acceptance be but life from the dead? 16 If the first portion of the dough offered is holy, then the whole batch is holy, and if the root is holy, so too are the
branches. 17 Now
![Page 54: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in
among them and participated in the richness of the olive
root, 18 do not boast over the
![Page 55: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
branches. But if you boast, remember that you do not
support the root, but the root supports you. 19 Then you will
say, "The branches were broken off so that I could
![Page 56: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
be grafted in." 20 Granted! They were broken off because of their
unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but
fear! 21 For if God did not spare the natural
![Page 57: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
branches, perhaps he will not spare you. 22 Notice therefore the kindness and harshness of God harshness toward those who have fallen, but God's
kindness toward
![Page 58: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
you, provided you continue in his kindness; otherwise you
also will be cut off. 23 And even they if they do not continue in their unbelief will be grafted
in, for
![Page 59: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
God is able to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a
cultivated
![Page 60: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
olive tree, how much more will these natural branches be
grafted back into their own olive tree? 25 For I do not want
you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and
![Page 61: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
sisters, so that you may not be conceited: A partial
hardening has happened to Israel until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.
26 And so all Israel will be
![Page 62: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out of
Zion; he will remove ungodliness from Jacob. 27 And this is my covenant with them,
(Isa 59:20-21)
![Page 63: Great Commission 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b321c14a79596e588b469a/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
when I take away their sins.”(Isa
27:9; Jer 31:33-34) 28 In regard to the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but in regard to election they are
dearly loved for the sake of the

fathers. 29 For the gifts and the call of God are
irrevocable. 30Just as you were formerly disobedient
to God, but have now received mercy due to their

disobedience, 31 so they too have now been disobedient in order that, by the mercy shown to you, they too may now receive mercy. 32 For
