Our Lord’s last words to His disciples were very clear. Those who have been “graced” by the love of God, and transformed by the truth of God’s Word, are to go into the world and, “as they are going” – i.e., in their normal routine of life, they are to:
-Make Disciples – “Ye shall be witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth!” (Acts 1:8)
-Mark Disciples – “baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the son and of the Holy Ghost.” (Matthew 18:19b)
-Mature Disciples – “Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.” (Matthew 18:20a)
