Make Disciples of all Nations

Matthew 28:11-20

Key verse 28:19

So you must go and make disciples of all nations. Baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

1. Read 11-15. What was the plan of the chief priests and elders? What story did they make up? Why do you think they made up this story? How did this story spread?

2. Read 16-17. Where did the disciples go? Why? What did they do when the saw Jesus? Why might have some doubted?

3. Read 18-20. What did Jesus command his disciples to do? Why is Jesus’ authority important in making disciples? What do the words “baptize” and “teach” show about the way to make disciples? Why do you think Jesus included all nations? What did Jesus promise?
