The Great Omission?

Before Jesus' ascension, His last command to us was to "make disciples of all nations" (Matt 28:19). Are we making 'Christians' these days instead of 'Disciples' so are we turning the 'Great Commission' into the great omission??

So what is a disciple? The definition says;

• One who embraces and assists in spreading the teachings of another.
• An active adherent, as of a movement or philosophy.
• (So my Salvation Army paraphrase - an active Soldier/Officer, believes in our doctrines and assists in spreading the word of Jesus)

Are we spreading the good news? How many people are we telling about Jesus? We need to be following Jesus and using him as our role model - the model of Holiness. Did you notice the word active? How many 'Christians' are actually active in spreading the Word??

Are we walking in Jesus' footsteps. The fruits we bear will show whether we are or not. Jesus said; "... even though you do not believe me, believe the miracles, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father." John 10:38

What fruits are you producing? Does the Holy Spirit have free reign in your life today?
