Making disciples

RETIRED BAPTIST MINISTER Jesus and His teachings are revolutionary and life changing. He called people to follow Him and called His followers ‘disciples’. He spent His ministry making disciples; then sent them out into all the world to do the same. (Matthew 28:18-20) ‘And Jesus came and spoke to them saying’, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen.”
