He gathered His disciples as He traveled to towns, teaching and preaching the good news of the Kingdom of God. He performed miracles, signs and wonders, healing disease and sickness. Moved with compassion for the lost, and as the Lord of the harvest, He prepared a way.

The Fruitful Disciple
Jesus had set the stage. With the commissioning of the twelve, He gave authority to His disciples to shepherd His flock. Then, fast forward to Matthew 28:19, where Jesus gives the GREAT COMMISSION. Reminiscent of the charge given to Adam and Eve, it was a call to the twelve to be fruitful and multiply. Further, it was a call to Christians in every nation to take part in the gathering of souls for God’s glorious Kingdom. For that reason, we are God’s workers, called to share the Gospel for His holy harvest. Therefore, faithful followers of Christ are needed to plant and water as God grows His beautiful and abundant bounty, ushering in the resurrection to eternal life.
So be a fruitful disciple, with your prayers and your work. Share the Gospel, preach the Gospel, teach the Gospel. Be fruitful and multiply.
With Love,
