I’ve become more and more convinced that if the people we influence know who Jesus is and know what it means to follow him, we’ve absolutely answered the call to make disciples, even if they, like Judas, don’t choose at this time to follow him.
Parents – follow Jesus. Talk about him with your kids. Share the hope you have. Teach them who Jesus is and what it means to follow him. Talk about him when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up (Deut. 6:7). Make disciples.
Ministers – follow Jesus. Talk about him with those you serve. Teach the good news of who Jesus is and what it means to follow him without shame (Romans 1:16). Love God, love others, share the hope of your salvation with all who ask. Make disciples in pews and classrooms, in grocery stores and schoolyards.
Be a disciple. And in doing so, make disciples.
