“God authorised and commanded me to commission you: Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Then instruct them in the practice of all I have commanded you. I’ll be with you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the age.” – Matthew 28:19-20
“Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You’re not in the driver’s seat; I am. Don’t run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I’ll show you how.” – Mark 8:34
“As the Father loved me, I too have loved you. Remain in my love.” – John 15:9
To be a disciple of Jesus, you must follow Him with your whole life. You must love Him with your entire being, more than all your own interests and plans. He made you to be like Him. You must walk in His footsteps, you must be His hands, feet and voice here on earth. To attract others to Jesus, you must care about them, including those who don’t know Him. Love is the most essential quality. Jesus also loved you when you were still lost. So now you must tell others that Jesus loves them deeply! (John 17:18)
What Is Discipleship
Prayer: Lord, please help me to be a faithful disciple and follow You in everything I do. Amen.
Challenge: Go tell someone today about Jesus and that He loves them very much.
