If you were to do a survey among believers and ask them
about their primary focus as a Christian, you would likely receive a variety of
responses. Some may say we are to focus on loving God and loving others. Others
may say their focus is on service or worship. Still others may point to
outreach and evangelism. Each of these are good answers, but at the end of
Jesus’ time on earth it is notable that Jesus chose to put the spotlight on “making
disciples.” If this is the focus, how do we accomplish this task and how are we
to understand the Great Commission? This Sunday we are going to look at the
wisdom behind this often neglected and misunderstood priority as we study the
methods Jesus employed in making His own disciples.
