The Way of Discipleship - Thula Mbambo
In Matthew 28, we are given instructions to go and make disciples. Yet, as Christians, often we fall short of this mandate. A disciple is a kingdom representative here on earth, and in this role, we are called to be like Jesus and to do as Jesus did. In doing this, we are equipped to go into a dark and dying world and live out the scriptures in our various spheres.
