King Jesus Gospel Book Reflection My understanding of the gospel prior to this class was that God sent his only son to earth so that we may be forgiven of our sins. The gospel to me was also about Jesus’ life, death and resurrection. As I was growing up I also learned about the great commission. While I learned about the great commission I realized all Christians are required to go out and take the gospel and share it weather as a missionary in a foreign country or the work place such as a school teacher. I grew up in the church and went to a small private Christian school where I was immersed in the teaching of the gospel. The gospel to me was very important as I was growing up. Although as I entered into high school I fell into complacency and did not carry out the gospel as I should have. Once I became an upper level classman in high school I realized I had become complacent and Matthew 28:16-20 became a very important verse in my life. My junior year of high school my youth pastor started this study on the great commission, and this was when I really started to truly understand the gospel. As I was growing up I just viewed the gospel as the good news of Jesus Christ’s birth, death and resurrection. Until I was older I never really considered that I needed to share the gospel with other people because I thought it was pastor’s and missionaries jobs. Later on in high school I began to realize that the gospel is also about sharing the great news about Jesus to others. My primary influences on the gospel as I was growing up were my parents and my church. My parents have taught me so much about the gospel and have supported me as I have grown as a Christian and as I have started to follow God’s voice and instruction. Also as I was growing up my church and especially my youth pastor helped influence my understanding of the gospel. As I grew older I
