June 16 - The Great Commission - A Study of Matthew 1:5b



The Great Commission – A Study of Matthew


Ruth
       Matthew 1:5b
Who is Ruth?

Who is Ruth to King David?
·          
      Ruth 1
Why did Elimelech, Naomi, Mahlon and Kilion leave Bethlehem in Judah?

Where did they go?

What did they do when they got there?

What happened to Elimelech?

What family did Naomi have left?

Did that family grow?

What happened ten years later?

What did Naomi hear?

Then what happened?

What did Naomi say to her daughters-in-law?

In your opinion, why did they weep?

After weeping, how did the daughters-in-law respond to Naomi?

What was Naomi’s argument for the daughters-in-law staying in Moab?

In your opinion, was that a good argument?

What did Orpah do?

What did Ruth do?

What, besides Naomi, was Ruth choosing?

In your opinion, why did Ruth make the choice she did?
·          
      Numbers 23:1-12
Who did Balak, King of Moab, ask Balaam to curse?

What did Balaam actually do?
·       
            Deuteronomy 23:3-6
What instruction did the people of Israel receive concerning the people of Moab?

What reason was given for that instruction?

What does this instruction mean about King David being a part of the assembly of God?
·    
           Galatians 2:15 & 16
Who is Paul talking to?

What does Paul say about being made righteous by the works of the Law?

What about through faithfulness of Jesus Christ?

What does Matthew including Ruth in the ancestry of Jesus help us to understand about Jesus?

So, what component of the Great Commission does this illustrate?
1)      Jesus
2)      All authority in heaven and on earth
3)      Go and make disciples
4)      Baptize them
5)      Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit
6)      Teaching them to obey everything
7)      I am with you always
8)      All Nations
9)      Obey Commandments

Next, back to Matthew 1:6
