This passage – the Great Commission – is the heart of why the Church exists. Our Commander-in-Chief, Jesus Christ, has all authority; and if we want to become a His disciple, it means we're going to have to give up the things that we may like. To be Jesus' disciple means that the absolute foundation of everything is His authority. And in this authority, He gives us a command to go and make disciples of all nations. We're not expected to be Jesus; but as His disciples, we are expected to imitate Him. If we call ourselves His disciples, who are we teaching? Who are we investing in? To whom are we passing down the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ? |
