A Multiplying Movement

I recently received a You Tube video from a friend that shows a great picture of how a movement gets started. You've got to watch this clip! This is how the Church ought to work.

Two thousand years ago Jesus Christ came to earth to do two things. First, he came to make the redemption of mankind possible. His sacrifice on the cross and resurrection from the dead make it possible for man to be reconciled to God. Secondly, Jesus came to start a movement of multiplying disciples that would be committed to passing on this message of redemption. Jesus began that movement with only a handful of followers, but that group has multiplied into thousands and thousands of followers.

Today the plan for having a movement of multiplying disciples is on our hands. If we do not pass on to the next generation what has been given to us, the movement ceases to exist! This causes me to wonder if there is really anything more important for the church to be doing other than making disciples? I think not!

I continue to be amazed at how many believers are not making any effort whatsoever to fulfill the priority of multiplying a movement of Christ followers. With good intentions we have churches filled with Christ followers who give no thought at all to doing the very thing Jesus himself came to do...make disciples!

The world needs us to get serious about making disciples. The nations need the church to become a movement of multiplying disciples. Are you willing to be one of the "nuts" that makes a ripple for Christ? Are you willing to start dancing for Jesus until others are dancing as well? I challenge you to live your life as a personal multiplier of disciples. Very few people are willing to do so.
