Bible Question: I understand there were three great commissions but is this correct and what were they ? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Ken John! What do YOU understand the 3 great commissions to be? David Chadwell in "Jesus'Two Great Commissions," identifies them as Evangelizm and Edification. The latter refers to to the progressive sanctification of the believer. (Heb 12:14) I'm not agreeing or disagreeing, this is just what I found. Blessings, mommapbs PS: As I reflect, what does "make disciples" entail? What is necessary for this to happen? A disciple is a follower of Jesus Christ. As my Pastor noted just yesterday, too many "followers" are stuck in their pews - they are stagnant. And you know what happens to stagnant water over time? It begins to stink! :-) |
