Week 2: Making Disciples for Life
The school theme for this year is Making Disciples for Life, based off Matthew 28: 19-20: “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.” This New Testament command comes from Jesus Himself. He is directing his disciples, his followers, to share the Good News of Salvation with everyone.
Even though the phrase “Making Disciples for Life” is simple, there is so much meaning within it. “Making” – this is an ongoing, active verb. Making disciples is not something that was just done in the past. It is something that we should be doing on a daily basis. It is not limited to pastors, missionaries, or other church workers but is something all followers of Christ do through our words and actions.
“For Life” – Being a disciple applies to our life here on Earth. Being a Christ-follower gives us purpose and peace as we live our lives each day. Regardless if times are good or bad, our faith supports us through every circumstance. But being a Disciple also has eternal implications. Through our faith in Christ, we have the confident assurance of eternal life. We know that death is not the end, but a passageway to life forever with our loving God.
We pray that our faith continues to grow stronger as we focus on Making Disciples for Life.
God’s Blessings,
