What Does It Mean to Make Disciples?

Jesus commands His followers to “go therefore and make disciples of all nations.” But what does it actually mean to make a disciple? Is it simply sharing the gospel, inviting someone to church, or helping someone become a Christian? Or is Jesus calling us to something deeper? In this Sunday School discussion, we explore what biblical discipleship looks like and what Jesus intended when He gave the Great Commission. Making disciples means more than leading someone to a moment of belief. It means helping people know Christ, follow Him, grow in His Word, and learn to obey everything He has commanded. We also consider our own responsibility in that mission. Discipleship is not reserved for pastors, missionaries, or church leaders. Every follower of Christ is called to take part in making disciples. The question is not simply, “Am I a disciple?” but also, “Am I helping someone else follow Jesus?”
