Read Matthew 28:19. Jesus does not command his disciples to tell others about Him, but rather to “make disciples.” Why is this significant?Take a closer look at Matthew 28:18-20.
1. Who was present? (see also 1 Corinthians 15:6)
2. What is the command? How is it to be accomplished?
3. What phrase in the Great Commission makes this command ongoing? (that is, self-perpetuating for all Christ-followers)
4. If you were present for this commission, what would you have considered to be your own personal responsibility? Should this make a difference?
Consider your own journey as a disciple. Did you cross over from “come and see” to “go and die” overnight? How can you be an encouragement to disciples who are not as far along on their journey as you are?
Who is God calling you to disciple?
