Foundations Devotional: Week 2, Day 4
Day 4 – Discipleship
Scripture Reading: Matthew 28:18-20
18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Reflection: Discipleship is about growing in faith and helping others do the same. Consider this command of Jesus to go and make disciples. We aren’t to keep this Christian faith to ourselves, but are commanded to help others develop in their faith and grow in their relationship with God as well. Think about how you can invest in your own spiritual growth and in the growth of others. What are some practical action steps that you can take to make disciples and encourage people to grow in their faith?
Prayer: Dear Lord, please guide me in my journey of discipleship. Help me to be a faithful follower of Christ and to encourage others to grow in their faith. I pray that you would provide opportunities to share your word and influence those around me to wholeheartedly follow you. Amen.
