Go

“Go, therefore and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20)
 
When we see green lights, we go. At track meets when the starting pistol is sounded runners go at the sound. There are moments that we know instantly to go. Those who do not have a green light sit idly until they see a green light and can go. Those in the next heat wait patiently until they are called forward and hear the starting pistol. However, we are all called to “Go”. We are called by Jesus not to sit idly by but to be apart of the great commission.

Before Jesus departed, he told the disciples to go make disciples of all nations. It wasn’t a suggestion but, a command to go be apart of the community and walk alongside people from all nations in their journey of grace. No one must be trained to make disciples just be willing to invest time in explaining scripture, praying, and helping others understand what it means to be a holy people.
​
There is no one size fits all to make disciples. It all starts with an invite to know someone a simple hello, invitation to get coffee, and spending time with another person works perfectly. Faith is meant to be done within community. It can feel intimidating to make disciples, but the Holy Spirit is with you guiding you to the people who need a listening ear and want to learn about Jesus. He will give you the words to say even when you are unsure of what to say. Go.
 
Heavenly Father, give us eyes to see people who need to know about your love and grace.
 
Walking with you,
