Here’s an excerpt from the blog post.
I figure the hardest part of this particular lesson was the discussion on the phrase "The Great Commission." My entire life has had those last three verses of Matthew shaped by those three words. Unfortunately, those three words don't exist in the actual text. I've made the mistake in the past of saying, "The Great Commission doesn't occur in the Bible." More than once, someone came up to me after the sermon with their Bibles opened and a finger pressed next to the words "The Great Commission," usually followed up with, "I have those words in my Bible." Obviously, I needed to be clearer. The words themselves are in print in our Bibles, but only for the last hundred years, give or take a decade or two. However, the phrase "the great commission" wasn't even used as descriptive language for this passage until about 160 years ago.
I have never heard someone preach or teach that text without saying something like, "Today, we are going to study the greatest commission Jesus left for us to fulfill." In other words, they use the editorial heading as the framework for those three verses. Immediately, we are constrained to think of Matthew 28:18-20 as "the greatest commission" Jesus ever left for the believer, and therefore, we don't consider the context at all. The heading that someone added along the way tells us how to consider the text, and we don't ask for a moment if perhaps the first 1860 years of Christianity may have viewed that text differently.
