If we are to follow Jesus, we are called to follow His ways and to what He has commanded us to do. According to Matthew 28:19-20 we are called to go out unto all nations and baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and to teach them to obey everything Jesus has commanded us to do.

 The other night at Starbucks, as I was wrapping up an accountability time with someone I am mentoring, a person from another table approached us about a potential business opportunity. This provided a time to listen to him and for us to share the gospel or good news about Jesus. We talked for about 2 hours sharing similarities in life and our need for a saviour. As our relationship continues from here, I look forward to mentoring him.

 Later on today, I will be mentoring another person who knows the Lord, but has never been baptized. Following the Lord and doing what He has called us to do is big in His eyes. In a world that is always competing for our attention and wanting us to be comfortable, there will be times to  that will lead us away from our comfort zone; especially in these Summer months. But investing in someone else’s life and seeing a broken person become whole again; seeing a marriage transform and become alive again - it’s by these investments that Jesus always care about. 

Question:

What do you have to give to another person; will it build them up or tear down them down? Will lead them toward Jesus or away?

How can you contribute - Time, Treasure, Talent - toward reaching this ‘Great Commission’ that Jesus commanded us to do?
