Called to Make Disciples in All Nations

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."

In His Great Commission, Jesus commands us to make disciples-not simply to inspire a single moment of conversion but to lead others into a committed, lifelong walk with Him. As Reformed theologian R.C. Sproul wisely reminds us, "Jesus' lordship encompasses all of life." His call was not only a call to action but a call to depth, urging us to guide others in a journey that involves every part of their lives. This vision of discipleship means going beyond simply sharing the gospel; it involves teaching, nurturing, and encouraging others to grow in their faith continually.

When Jesus says, "all nations," He is reminding us of the global reach of His message. The gospel is meant to transcend boundaries, cultures, and nations. Christ's message is for everyone, everywhere. For us, this can mean sharing His love both with our next-door neighbor and with someone across the world. Making disciples is about showing others how to bring the teachings of Jesus into their daily lives and how to let His love shape their decisions, relationships, and sense of purpose.

Discipleship doesn't end at conversion; rather, it begins there. It involves coming alongside others, guiding them to follow Jesus with their whole heart, and encouraging them to embrace His Word fully. We are called not just to inspire temporary faith, but to help foster a steady, growing commitment that permeates every area of life. Sproul captures this beautifully by reminding us that we are called to live under Christ's lordship in everything we do.

Lord, help us take Your call to make disciples deeply to heart. Guide us as we seek to nurture others in their faith, teaching them to love and follow You in every part of their lives. Empower us to reach out, to share Your truth, and to walk alongside those who are growing in faith. Let our lives be a reflection of Your love, calling others to a life committed to You. Amen.
