Lesson Two Review – The Story of His

Glory

Name: _____________________________ Date: ___________ __ /20 pts

Warning: the order of some multiple choice answers in this document may be different than online answers.
Those questions are written in blue font. Be sure to check your answers if copying from the document and pasting
to the online Reviews.

1. Explain what Piper means by “Missions exists because worship doesn’t.” (2 pts)
God’s glory is the key purpose for mission. Missions exist in places where people have not yet known Jesus. That is, mission
is in these places to bring in God’s worshippers for obedient, love-filled and life-giving worship.

2. While both motivations are valid, Hawthorne and Dearborn express that hope for God’s glory and God’s
kingdom is a more compelling and sustainable motivation for mission than compassion for people. Do you agree?
Why or why not? (2 pts)
Yes. Because God’s love endures forever (Psalm 136:1). He is perfect and loving, while people have weakness and are often
susceptible. We might easily be hurt emotionally by people that we once would like to offer help. We won’t be able to
sustain our goodwill and compassion for others if we do not keep our eyes on God who always hold us fast.

3. How does Verkuyl compare Jonah and the Church today? Do you agree with this comparison? Why or why not?
(3 pts)
As Jonah is an unwilling missionary who has no heart for the Gentiles, Verkuyl points out that many churches today also
have the same problem that they enjoy the blessings of election but refuse its responsibility.
I agree with this comparison. Indeed, even though there are churches emphasizing on the importance of missions, it is
undoubted that there are also churches respond to God’s call passively. Being a Christian makes us realize that we are
different from others because we know that we are elected by God, but at the same time our wicked minds might turn
this difference into superiority, thinking that we are better than others, and thus refuse to fulfill the responsibility of
reaching out to nations and preach the gospels. As Verkuyl indicates, “Jonah is father to all those Christians who desire
the benefits and blessings of election but refuse its responsibility.” Whenever in the history, this kind of Christians exists,
and we need to be vigilant.

4. In traditional translations of the Lord’s prayer we find the phrase, “Hallowed be Thy name” (Matt 6:9). What
does this mean? Why is it significant? (3 pts)
“Hallowed be Thy name” means “may your name be Holy,” that is, to glorify God’s name, and to respect and fear this
powerful presence.
The phrase is significant because the true meaning of worship is to praise God and make Him glorified. God is the center of
the prayer. When praying this line, we are recognizing the nature of God as being holy.

5. True or False. In the Old Testament, Israel’s witness to the nations included both the “attractional” model (come
and see) and the “expansive” approach (go and tell). (1 pt)
True.

6. What was God’s mission purpose for the temple? Mention both Solomon and Jesus in your answer. (3 pts)
The temple is “to establish His name there for His dwelling” (Deuteronomy 12:5). By constructing the temple, God’s purpose
is to reveal His name to nations. However, the physical temple that Solomon built was more like a figure of the true
temple, whereas Jesus Christ is the true temple who glorifies His father and declare God’s future for Gentile nations that
“the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth…” (John 4:23)

7. Reflecting on Hawthorne and Adeney’s writings, what is it about unique, creative worship from every
nation that brings God “glory and honor” both presently and as revealed in Revelation 21:26? (2 pts)
God gives creativity to people so that the creativity will unifies the diverse population, and that people will be able to
worship Him together regardless of their distinctive cultures and ethnicities. In this way, God will be glorified
because all of His people come together and worship His name.

8. Based on Psalm 96, what does Hawthorne say is the purpose of salvation? (1 pt)

o to bring blessing upon all nations


o to see people set free from personal sin
o to bring transformation to entire communities
o for the earth to “rejoice” (Psalm 96:11)
o for people to serve God in worship

9. Match the following: (1pt, 1/3 pt each)

 Name-tag name
A. a revelation of God’s character
B. God’s public renown among the nations
C. words used to refer to God

 Window name
A. a revelation of God’s character
B. God’s public renown among the nations
C. words used to refer to God

 Fame name
A. a revelation of God’s character
B. God’s public renown among the nations
C. words used to refer to God

10. In Exodus 33:18-34:8, God told Moses He would proclaim His “name” before him. List at least three phrases or
ideas from Exodus 34:6-7 which reveal that for which God wants to be “famous.” These phrases also appear in
Numbers 14:15-19, in which Moses prayed with respect for how God wanted to be known among the nations. (2
pts)
God wants to be famous for:
1. Being compassionate and gracious because He “forgives wickedness, rebellion and sin.”
