We all know the Lord’s command in Matthew 28:18-20. Grab your Bible and look at it once again. We call this passage, “The Great Commission.” It is the Great C0-Mission. Think about it, the Lord of the universe invites us, in fact, commands us to be on mission with Him. What a privilege! What an awesome responsibility!
Churches are busy with many things, but it would be safe to say that the Great Commission ranks near the top, if not at the top, of our main calling as believers. Of course, more than anything else, we are to love the Lord our God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and might. We are to worship Him, honor and glorify Him. The Great Commission is to flow out of that love and worship. However, years ago I heard someone ask the question, “If the main business of the Church is to make disciples, every now and then we need to ask ourselves the question, ‘How’s business?'” So, I want to ask you and your church the question, “How’s business?”
Do the lives of some believers and some churches lead us to think that Jesus was simply offering, “The Great Suggestion”, or “The Great Option?” Jesus did not say, “Go make Baptists” or “Go make church members.” He told us to make disciples. So this leads to other questions, among them, “ARE we really making disciples?” and if we are, “HOW are we making disciples?”
Over the next few days or so, I hope to share more about this. The Lord has really been stirring me up about this matter and I hope and pray the Holy Spirit stirs you up too!
In Christ’ love, Allen
