2013 JANUARY WEEK ONE LESSON


Study 8: The Reward of Witnessing

Main Text:  2 Timothy 4:7-8

Memory Verse: Psalm 126:6

 

Introduction

Do you know of any street, building, airport that has been named to honor a person? These people many times have done something to help the people or the community. If humans know how to reward their fellows for good deeds, how much more our good God honor and reward those who obey him especially in discipling others into the kingdom. Just the thought that Christ will honor us before His Father should keep us faithful. What are the rewards we will receive from the Father?

Discussion Questions

  1. Are there rewards in this present world for those who obey the command to “Go”? Mention them. Matthew 28:20;  19: 29, Luke 10:17, Proverbs 11:30
  2. What is the condition for the promise in Matthew 28:20 to be fulfilled?
  3. What are the eternal rewards for witnessing about Christ according to the following verses;
    1. Daniel 12:3
    2. 1 Corinthians 9:25
    3. 2 Timothy 4:8
    4. 1 Peter 5:4
    5. James 1:12
  4. How are you motivated by these rewards to make disciples for Christ?

Conclusion

There will be the Crown of life, Crown of righteousness, Crown of rejoicing, Crown of glory among others the Lord will give to soul winners. Also, the Lord God is waiting to give you the “well done, good and faithful servant” handshake. Rise up and start obeying the command to GO. Awesome rewards await you.
