天天不断使[人]作门徒
在升天之前，耶稣向跟随祂的人解释他们的使命，这使命是他们等祂回到天父那里后便要负起的。
耶稣说“你们要去，使[人]作我的门徒。”这句话似乎包括两项不同的行动－去和使人作门徒。这个使命有一个比较清楚的译法：“你们要在每天生活中使人作我的门徒。”我们可以假设，跟随耶稣的人时常都会“跑来跑去”和忙着做事的；无论是在远方或在家居附近，他们的责任就是与别人同行，藉着教导别人认识耶稣和透过教会的事工，来表明事奉耶稣的意思。
“使[人]作门徒”的意思，不单是带领人作一次过的“决志，”它更包括继续一同学习、一同成长、和更明白神差遣耶稣为我们的罪受死并呼召我们去事奉祂。凡跟随已升天的耶稣的人，都在这件差事上有份。
我们既事奉这位万有之主，我们便要经常问自己，在每天的生活中，神会安排我们遇见谁呢？我们尝试使我们的儿女、我们的邻居、我们的同事、和整个世界，作耶稣的门徒。这件差事若令我们感到疑惑或困难，耶稣应许过，我们必定会有天上的权柄来支持我们的。
在今天的生活中，你怎样才能不断履行这个呼召呢？
主耶稣，我们愿意聆听和跟随你。求你帮助我们做你的门徒和在你身上学习，好叫我们天天不断使人作你的门徒。阿们。
马太福音 28:16-20
16十一个门徒往加利利去，到了耶稣约定的山上。
17他们见了耶稣就拜他，然而还有人疑惑。
18耶稣进前来，对他们说：“天上地下所有的权柄都赐给我了。
19所以你们要去，使万民做我的门徒，奉父、子、圣灵的名给他们施洗，
20凡我所吩咐你们的，都教训他们遵守。我就常与你们同在，直到世界的末了。”
Making Disciples As We Go
“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples...” - Matthew 28:18
Before Jesus ascended, he explained the mission that awaited his followers after he returned to his heavenly Father.
“Go and make disciples,” Jesus says. Although this may seem to involve two separate actions—going and making disciples—a better translation of this command is “Make disciples as you go along.” It is assumed that Jesus’ followers will often be “on the go” and actively doing something. And whether they are far away or close to home, their task is to walk alongside others by teaching them about Jesus and by demonstrating, through the work of the church, what it means to serve him.
“Making disciples” does not mean just bringing others to a one-time “moment of decision.” It involves continued learning together, growing together, and increasingly understanding what God has done in sending Jesus to die for our sin and calling us to serve him. All who follow the ascended Jesus share in this task.
Because we serve the Lord of all, we regularly ask ourselves whom God has in mind for us to meet as we go along. We seek to make disciples of our children, our neighbors, our co-workers, our whole world. And when we doubt or struggle in this task, Jesus promises that the authority of heaven will support us in it—always.
How can you carry out this calling as you go along today?
Lord Jesus, we want to hear and follow you. Help us to be your disciples, learning from you, that we may make disciples of others as we go along. Amen.
