Matthew 28:16-20 (ESV)

Jesus hasn't CHANGED nor is He CONFUSED about the direction of His mission.

The PATH we travel

The landscape may be changing, but the one who has authority hasn't.

Matthew 28:18 (ESV)

The PART we play

Matthew 28:19 (ESV)

We are becoming disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus.

"One aspect of world that I have been able to identify as harmful to Christians is the assumption that anything worthwhile can be acquired at once. We assume that if something can be done at all, it can be done quickly and efficiently. Our attention spans have been conditioned by thirty-second commercials...

There is a great market for religious experience in our world; there is little enthusiasm for the patient acquisition of virtue, little inclination to sign up for a long apprenticeship in what earlier generations of Christians called holiness."

- Eugene Peterson | A Long Obedience in the Same Direction
