REFLECTION
While many people misunderstand and misuse Matthew 28:19 to baptize using a title- based, Trinitarian formula, the apostles never did so because they recognized the name to which Jesus referred. When reading Matthew 28:16-20 together, how does the whole passage support the revelation that Jesus was referring to His own name?
Using a concordance or other reference tool, study the word baptism. What does the word mean in Greek? How does the concept implied by that meaning affect our under- standing of baptism?
Some people argue that baptism is “works”. How would you respond to that claim in view of this lesson?
