DAY 2: FULFILLING THE GC, PART I

Mike Kurtz

Read Matthew 28:16-20.

According to this passage, the Great Commission involves “going”, “making”, “baptizing”, and “teaching”. But the main (and only) command in the original Greek is to “make disciples”. The thrust of the command is more literally, “Therefore, having gone, make disciples of all the nations…” The implication is that we must go before we can make.

This command was given to the followers of the early church to spread the gospel. And as they ventured out into the various regions of the Middle East and beyond, they were called to make disciples. Everywhere they went they were to make disciples. That same mandate applies to us today not only as a church, but as individuals doing our part.

To Consider
Where will you go today? Where will you go this week? Depending on where that is (e.g. work or church, etc.), making disciples will take on different forms. We will consider those forms in the days to come. For today, however, consider your “go to” places and what it might look like to “make disciples” there.
