MATTHEW 28:19-20 19 THEREFORE GO AND MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS,BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND OF THE SON AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, 20 AND TEACHINGTHEM TO OBEY EVERYTHING I HAVE COMMANDED YOU. AND SURELY I AM WITH YOUALWAYS, TO THE VERY END OF THE AGE.”
WANTED! A DISCIPLE NOT A FOLLOWER
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DISCIPLES AND FOLLOWERS Disciples 1. Learns From and follows the teachings of a particular person or ideology, to become like that person or embody that ideology Followers 1. Believes in a person or ideology without having the same level of commitment or dedication.
2. Aims at learning from his teacher and then tries to spread his knowledge to others. 3. Follows even when it hurts, even in Discomfort, and even when in Tough Situation. 2. Might Not want to spread the idea because he/she doesn’t see himself/herself fit to do it. 3. Follows out of Convenience, when it only benefits, or when it is appealing.
BACKTRACK REMEMBER MANY WHO PEOPLE FOLLOWED JESUS WERE HEALED, FED, INSPIRED AND HEARD GOOD TEACHINGS. BUT,WHEN JESUS GOT TO WHERE THE RUBBER MEETS THE ROAD OF REALLY SUBMITTING TO WHAT HE WAS SAYING, PEOPLE FELL OFF.THEY’VE TURNED THEIR BACK ON JESUS.
JOHN 6:66 66 FROM THIS TIME MANY OF HIS DISCIPLES TURNED BACK AND NO LONGER FOLLOWED HIM.
THE GREATEST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FOLLOWER AND A DISCIPLE IS GETTING TO THE POINT WHEN EVERYONE ELSE WAS LEAVING AND THEIR RESPONSE IS “LORD,TO WHOM SHALL WE GO? YOU HAVE THE WORDS OF ETERNAL LIFE. JOHN 6:68-69 68 SIMON PETER ANSWERED HIM, “LORD,TO WHOM SHALL WE GO? YOU HAVE THE WORDS OF ETERNAL LIFE. 69 WE HAVE COME TO BELIEVE AND TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE THE HOLY ONE OF GOD.”
DISCIPLE MUST: A. AIM FOR PERSONAL GROWTH IN CHRIST JESUS 1. STUDY THE SCRIPTURES JOSHUA 1:8, 2TIMOTHY 3:16-17 2. PRAY MATTHEW 26:41 , COLOSSIANS 4:2 , 1THESSALONIANS 5:16-18 3. ATTENDS CHURCH SERVICES AND PARTICIPATES IN EQUIPPING TRAININGS 1CORINTHIANS 14:26 , HEBREWS 10: 25 , EPHESIANS 5:19 4. ENGAGE IN ACTS OF SERVICE ROMANS 12:6-13
B. Do What His/Her Master Commanded Matthew 28:19-20 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,20 and teachingthem to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with youalways, to the very end of the age.”
B. DO WHAT HIS/HER MASTER COMMANDED 1. GO AND MAKE DISCIPLES: THE LORD IS SENDING US OUT. FIRST STEP IN MAKING DISCIPLE IS TO GO OUT AND SHARE THE GOSPEL MESSAGE. DISCIPLES OF CHRIST COULDN'T WAIT AROUND FOR PEOPLE TO COME TO THEM AND ASK TO BECOME DISCIPLES. THEY MUST GO OUT AND MAKE THEM. MARK 16:20
2. OF ALL NATIONS: MEANS EVERYONE. NOT FEW OR CHOSEN PEOPLE. ACTS 1:8 , EPHESIANS 2:14 3. BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND OF THE SON AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. DISCIPLE THEM TO BE CHRIST LIKE.TO LIVE AND DIE FOR CHRIST ALONE. 4. “AND TEACHING THEM TO OBEY EVERYTHING I HAVE COMMANDED YOU.” A DISCIPLE CREATE DISCIPLES MODELS HIMSELF/HERSELF AFTER SOMEONE. IT MEANS TEACHING PEOPLE HOW TO KNOW JESUS AND BE LIKE HIM.
CONCLUSION: MATTHEW 16:24 THEN JESUS SAID TO HIS DISCIPLES,“IF ANYONE WISHES TO COME AFTER ME, HE MUST DENY HIMSELF, AND TAKE UP HIS CROSS AND FOLLOW ME. LUKE 14:27 WHOEVER DOES NOT CARRY HIS OWN CROSS AND COME AFTER ME CANNOT BE MY DISCIPLE. WHEN JESUS CALLED HIS DISCIPLES THEY ARE BUSY DOING THEIR EVERYDAY ROUTINE. BUT WHEN JESUS CALLED THEM THEY PUT DOWN AND LEFT WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND CHOOSE TO THEMSELVES TO FOLLOW CHRIST AND BE HIS DISCIPLE. BEING A DISCIPLE OF CHRIST IS A CHOICE AND IT HAS A COST. THE QUESTION IS: WHAT WILL BE YOUR RESPONSE TO GOD?
