God has called us to make disciples. In fact, it was Jesus' last commandment to His disciples before His ascension into Heaven after the resurrection. According to Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus told His disciples to "go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you."
So, why is it, then, that we as Christians are having such a hard time making disciples? God said He'd give us a Comforter to help us accomplish what He's called us to do. So, why don't we do it?
For many of us, it's because we are ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We hide our light so no one can see. We tell ourselves that faith is a private matter not to be shared with others. We keep our testimonies to ourselves.
In fact, the opposite is true. Our faith is a very public matter, and God wants us to share it with the world. Like my Pastor says, we don't have to know every book in the Bible to share what God has done in our lives. We've all got a testimony that we should be sharing with the people around us.
So, why aren't you making disciples today?
God bless,
J.W.
