Disciples That Make Disciples | Matthew 28:18-20
Welcome to Omega Fire Ministries, a community centered around the teachings of Jesus Christ and the mission to make disciples who will carry forward the message of faith, love, and redemption. In this powerful passage, Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus imparts a significant mandate to His disciples, which has become the cornerstone of our ministry.
The Great Commission
Known as the Great Commission, Matthew 28:18-20 holds immense significance in the life of a believer and serves as the driving force behind our efforts in spreading the Gospel. Let's dive deeper into this profound passage which outlines our purpose and the reason for our existence as disciples of Christ.
The Authority of Jesus
In the opening verse, Matthew 28:18, Jesus asserts His authority, saying, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me." These powerful words remind us that as disciples, we serve a God whose authority transcends all realms and holds sway over every aspect of creation.
Understanding the authority of Jesus establishes a foundation of trust in our lives. It allows us to confidently fulfill His commission, knowing that He possesses the power and sovereignty to guide and protect us along the way.
The Call to Make Disciples
Continuing in Matthew 28:19, Jesus instructs His disciples, saying, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations." This command remains as relevant today as it was during Jesus' time on earth. Here at Omega Fire Ministries, we embrace this calling and dedicate ourselves to spreading the message of salvation and making disciples of all nations.
Making disciples goes beyond simply converting individuals to believers. It involves nurturing their spiritual growth, teaching them the ways of Christ, and equipping them to reproduce this transformative process within others. We believe that discipleship is the key to building a strong, vibrant community of believers.
Baptizing in the Name
In Matthew 28:19, Jesus further instructs His disciples, "Baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." Baptism symbolizes a believer's identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, signifying their new life in Him.
Through the sacrament of baptism, individuals publicly declare their faith and become part of the body of Christ. At Omega Fire Ministries, we celebrate the transformative power of baptism and view it as an essential step in the journey of discipleship.
Teaching and Obeying
Finally, in Matthew 28:20, Jesus emphasizes the importance of teaching obedience, saying, "Teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you." The teachings of Jesus are the foundation upon which our faith is built. They guide our actions and shape our character.
At Omega Fire Ministries, we diligently teach and study the Word of God, equipping disciples to follow Jesus' commandments and walk in obedience. By applying His teachings to our daily lives, we become living testimonies of His love and grace, drawing others towards a life-changing relationship with Him.
