JESUS CHANGES EVERYTHING
This week: Matthew 28:16-20
There is a clear purpose for Jesus
forming himself in us: reproduction
– allowing Jesus to use the relationship
each of us has with him as a
vessel to help someone else take
the steps to become a disciple too.
In the economy of the Kingdom
of God, the best disciple-makers
are disciples. The Great Commission
is not given to an arena full
of super star salesmen and saleswomen
wannabes. It is given to a
small group of people who have
opened their heart to Jesus and
chosen to follow him with their lives.
Rather than “selling” Jesus as a product or a program, people who have allowed Jesus to
form himself in them “bleed” Jesus in their interactions with the world around them like a
contagion. There is a peace and a purpose and a Person present in the life of a disciple
that draws others to that life. A disciple is tuned into the heart of Jesus as if the heart of
Jesus were his or her own, and people see it just by the way that disciple lives their life.
The church experiences transformation, the community experiences transformation, the
world experiences transformation not because of programs or “Jesus products,” but because
Jesus is living his life through disciples who are living a consistent life of repentance
and surrender and “remaining.”
