MAKING Disciples
Read today’s passage below to see how making disciples is the mark of a disciple of Jesus. It's who you are and the natural outpouring of becoming a disciple. Making disciples is so intimately connected with being a disciple that while they're distinct, they can't be completely separated.
Matthew 28:16-20 NLT: 16 Then the eleven disciples left for Galilee, going to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him—but some of them doubted!
18 Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. 19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
