Matthew 28:18-20
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Reflection
Why should we follow Jesus’ example and give of our time to those we are helping along the path of discipleship? We should do this so that we can obey Jesus’ command and make disciples. In addition, as we develop disciples we should be making disciples who will then go and make disciples.
As we teach those we are discipling as Jesus did by spending time with the developing disciples, then they will be learning by example. Then, in turn, they will make disciples through the principle of association. They will give of their time and of themselves to help others along the journey to discipleship.
Are we teaching those who we are apprenticing that they should give their time to help disciple someone else?
