3. Discuss the motivations that Jesus’ authority provides. What is the most fundamental motivation that drives us to participate in Jesus’ commission?
4. What is the goal of Jesus’ commission and how does this fit into the mission of God? What does it mean that we are a “so that” people?
5. What are the nations and how do they refine the scope of Jesus’ mission.
