‘Disciples Need To Make Disciples.’
Matthew 28:16-20.
a) Matthew 28:16. The Disciples obeyed Jesus by going to the mountain that He told them to go to. Disciples are always obedient to Jesus.
b) Matthew 28:17. When the Disciples saw Jesus there some Worshipped Him and others doubted. Jesus did not scold the ones who doubted. He knows all people.
c) Matthew 28:18. The Message that Jesus gave to the Disciples was that ALL authority on Earth and in Heaven was given to Him.
d) Matthew 28:19. The Disciples were to:-
1- Go.
2- Make Disciples of all Nations.
3- Baptising new Disciples in the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
e) Matthew 28:20. The Disciples, as they went, were to Teach everything that Jesus had commanded them.
f) Matthew 28:20. Jesus would be with His Disciples always, even to the very end of the age. Today Jesus is with His Disciples through the Holy Spirit.
(This Second one reminds me that Disciples Need To Make Disciples)
--------------------
Chris.
People are all Created individually by the Lord. He knows all people. The Lord knows our strengths and weaknesses. He understands our personal situations. When some of the Disciples doubted Jesus He did not scold them but rather He Commissioned them. The only thing that the Lord cannot stand or accept is sin. Until today it is sin that separates man from the Triune God. Only through Jesus Christ and coming to Him in the way which the Bible enjoins can deal with our sin.
