THE MOST BEAUTIFUL COMMISSION
Goal: You begin to make disciples in your environment.
Questions:
- Why is this text so important?
- What two promises does Jesus make here?
- What is the commission to us and how can you put it into practice?
The goal of Jesus' commission is therefore multiplicative discipleship. People like you and me who follow Jesus are called to go and call others to repentance. We are now to (baptize) those who also want to follow Jesus and teach them EVERYTHING that Jesus said and did so that they will do this again and also go.
Start making disciples today (action step):
- Take a sheet of paper. Write your name in the middle. Next to your name, write down places where you live, such as "work", "family", "neighbors", "hobby", "friends", etc. Now write down people you meet there under these places. That's how many people you know - that's your field of activity!
- Choose three people. Start praying for them to become open to the gospel of Jesus.
- Meet these people a week later and tell them about Jesus and what he has done in your life.
