Today in the One Year Bible we read from Matthew 28:1-20. Jesus is telling His disciples to go make disciples, baptizing them in the trinitarian formula. And then He tells us what that means. He says, "teach these new disciples to obey all the commandments I've given you."
That's what is meant when the church says to make disciples. Not just have them pray a prayer and call Jesus lord and "believe in Him." But instead they are to do what He said to do!
Same thing today, in that we do what He says to do. Don't just call Him lord and then do whatever you want. If we want to say Jesus is our lord, we have to do what He says.
God, thanks for reminding us that we have to obey your commands in order to call you our lord.
