Just Obey
Mt. 21:1-3- Jesus asks His disciples to essentially go steal a donkey. Obedience isn’t the same as agreement. Obedience shouldn’t be conditional upon our understanding. Simple obedience marks the true disciple of Jesus (Jn 3:36) and child of God (1 Jn 5:2). Faith is not static but is active and leads to obedience (Rom. 1:5). It is the litmus test whether one is a follower of Jesus or simply a fan.
Series Information
The Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) is not the Great Suggestion or worse yet the Great Omission. Every Christ follower has been called to make disciples. There is no Plan B—there is no other way people can be saved except through hearing the word of Christ (Rom 10:9) as people are sent. This series will focus on an outward, life-on-life relationship of making disciples as a lifestyle. The thrust of the Great Commission is making disciples (imperative verb) and the rest of the action words (adverbial participles of manner) answer how we are to make disciples i.e. by GOing out to where the lost are at, BAPTIZING people into the triune God and TEACHING people to obey.
