Can you love something and not talk about it? Perhaps, but rarely. Is it not true that the things we are most passionate about, we talk about? Faith is no exception. In fact, life-changing faith is the epitome of this reality – sincere faith leads to commitment leads to passion leads to boldness.
The Bible does not speak of a faith that does not speak. Rather, disciples of Jesus are all about making more disciples of Jesus. Jesus made this clear in His great commission to His followers (Matthew 28:16-20), which is to be the great commitment of our lives.
From the very beginning of Jesus’ discipleship ministry, disciples making disciples was His emphasis. “Follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fish for people!” (Matthew 4:19). To follow Jesus is to fish for people… to make disciples… to help people know and follow Jesus.
On Sunday morning, Lord willing, I will begin a new 5-week sermon series called Who’s Your One? In this series, which includes some helpful resources from the North American Mission Board, I hope to challenge our church family to have at least one person for whom they are praying and seeking to introduce to Jesus.
If you know and follow Jesus, who are you telling about Him? How is your fishing going? What changes need to be made in your life so that discipleship (growing closer to Jesus and helping others to grow closer to Jesus) is a growing commitment and priority?
