Disciples Who Make Disciples

“The Most Influence”

John 13:35, Matthew 22:37-40, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

“Come follow Me and I will MAKE you FISHERS of MEN.” - Mark 1:17

DISCIPLES who make DISCIPLES.

The Church is the BODY of CHRIST. Consequently, what was true of JESUS PERSONALLY, should also be true of US COLLECTIVELY.

“By THIS everyone will know that you are my DISCIPLES, if you LOVE one another.” - John 13:35

Matthew 22:36-40 (pg. 1,535)

v.36 “Teacher, which is the GREATEST commandment in the law?”

v.37 “LOVE the Lord your GOD with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment.

v.39 “And the SECOND is LIKE it. LOVE your NEIGHBOR as yourself.”

v.40 “ALL the Law and the Prophets HANG on these TWO commandments.”

What does LOVE require of me?

There are TWO CATEGORIES of people that have INFLUENCED your life profoundly.

These two categories of people did NOT influence you deeply because of what they BELIEVED.

Those who HURT you and those who LOVED you.

Jesus always INTERACTS with people, based on their STORY.

“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, HONOR GOD with your BODIES.”  - 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

When Jesus’ DISCIPLES leverage anything OTHER than Jesus’ LOVE we ultimately LOSE our leverage.
