Make Disciples not Decisions!
Matthew 28:16-20
V.18 ‘All Authority in Heaven and on earth has been given to me, therefore…’ This is our authority!
Main Point:
The Risen Jesus’ last command is our great commission: He authorizes us to be and make disciples of Him until the end of the age.
‘Make disciples’ = to make into a disciple, a learner - one who committed his life to a teacher to follow and learn.
Luke 9:23-26
We are to make disciples:
1. By ‘going’ and in our ‘going’ Verse 19a
Acts 5:41-42
Acts 13:1-3
By ‘Baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.’ Verse 19b
Acts 2:38-29
By ‘Teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.' Verse 20
He is with us always to the end of The age!
