Just as Mary was transformed, following Jesus means you will also be transformed. He calls us to something greater—to live out of His identity and to carry dignity, hope and goodness. He calls us to share the words of life that have changed us with others. He calls us to trust Him at His word and His commands, knowing that He is for us. He calls us to rest securely in Him, knowing that He knows and understands every part of us.
18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Reflect on the three key elements of Jesus’ last words to His disciples. Jesus declares that He was given all authority on heaven and earth. He commands us to go and make disciples, teaching them to obey everything He has commanded. And He assures us that he is with us, even to the very end of the age. Consider what it would mean for your life to reflect Jesus’ last declaration, commandment and assurance. Consider Jesus.
Whether or not you’re ready to follow Jesus, would you like to continue to learn about Him and how you can follow Him? There are more opportunities available for you to continue to learn and grow in your spiritual journey together. Although this concludes the Consider Jesus material, there are several steps you could take next. Discuss together what the next step could look like for each of you. Rivka and Knowing Jesus are Jesus Film Project’s suggested next steps. You may also want to share what you have learned with others and begin your own Consider Jesus group.
Ask your group leader for advice and support if this is the right next step for you.
