”Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.“ (‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28‬:‭19‬ ‭NLT‬‬)

- The disciples had gone to the place where Jesus had told them to go after His resurrection.

- When they saw Him they worshipped Him

- Then He gives them these instructions…He says “Go”

- He doesn’t say stay.

- He doesn’t tell them to sit around and talk about theology.

- He doesn’t even give them time to figure this all out.

- He says, “Go”, get on the move!

- He says, “go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.“

- ‭‭Make disciples and baptize!

- That means, make them into little “Mini-Me’s”

- Show them what it is like to be a follower of Jesus Christ.

- Demonstrate what a follower says, does and how they are to act!

- Discipleship is more than just spreading the word, leaving a gospel track or even preaching.

- It’s taking someone under your wing as an apprentice and sticking with them until they become fully committed followers of Jesus Christ.

- It’s walking along side of them through the ups and downs, the struggles and victories, the highs and lows.

- It’s like running alongside of your kid, as they learn to pedal and ride a bike and then finally getting to the point where you let go and let them do it themselves.

- They may crash at some point and they may get frustrated but you are right there with them.

- That’s discipleship.

- But you can’t do it sitting where you are.

- You have to get up and Go!

- Stop thinking about it and talking about it.

- Go do it!

- One person at a time!

- Have a great Wednesday!
