Jesus said, “go and make disciples.” But what did he mean by “go”? Many scholars and theologians believe the best translation of “go” is “having gone” or “as you go.”
Think about the implications of that for your life.
Could it be as simple as this: “As you go about life, make disciples”?
Are you a stay-at-home mom? “As you go about mothering today, intentionally seek to make disciples like Jesus.”
Are you a student? “As you go to school today, intentionally seek to make disciples like Jesus.”
Are you in business? “As you go about your business today, intentionally seek to make disciples like Jesus.”
Are you on staff at a church or ministry? “As you go about your ministry today, intentionally seek to make disciples like Jesus.”
Are you a construction worker? “As you go about constructing today, intentionally seek to make disciples like Jesus.”
Are you a farmer? “As you go about farming today, intentionally seek to make disciples like Jesus.”
Are you a _________ ? “As you go about ________ today, intentionally seek to make disciples like Jesus.”
Living out disciplemaking “as you go”
Sounds simple, doesn’t it? But let’s be honest. Most of us are not living with this kind of disciplemaking intentionality. This must change. Jesus wants us to bring his disciplemaking intentionality and proactivity to every nook and cranny of our lives. Disciplemaking like Jesus isn’t something you add on to your life, it’s a way of life. “As you go about life today, make disciples.”
Here’s some good news: Jesus isn’t asking you to form so many different circles of relationships that you’ll never be able to manage them all.
Here’s the challenge: As you go about your life today—whatever that—Jesus wants you to bring his disciplemaking intentionality and proactivity to those relationships.
