Going and making DISCIPLES according to the Great Commission found in Matthew 28:19.
“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
Discipleship takes commitment, but becoming more and more like our Savior is necessary. It is an invitation into all the Lord has for us and a commandment to become as He is. As we lean into the beauty of the refining process, we will find life and freedom. Discipleship invites us into a community of believers, a safe place to be vulnerable and receive accountability, and an increasing intimacy with the Holy Spirit. The Lord is faithful in completing the work He has started for each of us, but He is never forceful. May we choose discipleship in every season and trust that His ways are higher than our own, for it is for freedom that He has set us free.
But making disciples is far more than a program. It is the mission of our lives. It defines us. A disciple is a disciple maker.
