About this episode
The episode discusses Jesus' command to make disciples and how the Holy Spirit contributes to the growth of the Church.
Here in Matthew, Jesus assembled the disciples shortly before His ascension and gave them a now familiar call to action. It sounds like four commands but it’s actually just one – to “make disciples.” In Greek, it’s the only imperative in these two verses. But our Savior used three participles to explain how it’s done. Here's how God grows His Church. Here's how the Holy Spirit makes Christians.
