MAKE FOLLOWERS OF JESUS, NOT CHRISTIANITY!
Shortly before Jesus concluded His physical ministry on earth He
told His eleven apprentices, “GO AND MAKE FOLLOWERS
OF ALL PEOPLE … TEACH THEM TO OBEY
EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE TOLD YOU” [Mt 28:19-20 IC].
Jesus was talking about Himself as He had just finished
announcing that God had given Him “ALL AUTHORITY IN
HEAVEN AND ON EARTH” [Mt 20:18 NI]. Jesus was telling
them to “MAKE FOLLOWERS” of Jesus not followers of
Christianity or one of the many religions in Christianity, not
followers of the Bible, not followers of the teachings of Paul. Jesus
makes it very clear that He wants His followers to learn “TO
OBEY EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE TOLD YOU”, to obey
Jesus not to obey some religion or some religious leader. When we
obey Jesus, we learn to obey God or as Jesus says, “OBEY MY
FATHER IN HEAVEN” [Mt 7:21 TL]. At another time Jesus told
some believers “IF YOU CONTINUE TO OBEY MY
TEACHING, YOU ARE TRULY MY FOLLOWERS” [Jn 8:31
IC]. Do you teach people to follow and obey Jesus?
