What DID Jesus Do?

by Alan Melton

A popular saying has been “What Would Jesus Do?”  We have seen “WWJD?” on bumper stickers, t-shirts, bracelets and billboards.  However, an even more relevant question is “What DID Jesus Do?”   Below is a look at what Jesus actually did, and the implications that these actions have on making disciples.

The Great Commission: As Simple As the ABC’s

• Jesus showed us how to make disciples.

• Then Jesus commanded us to “make disciples.”

• We should make disciples like Jesus did!

Four Components to Jesus’ Personal Discipleship

There are at least four major components to what Jesus did when He was showing us how to make disciples. He did not just command us to disciple. In addition to the command, He paved the way in showing His followers how to make disciples themselves. Here are the four components:

1)    Jesus Told His Disciples to Follow Him, While He Showed Them How to Follow God

2)    Jesus Was With His Disciples All Day Long, and He Took Them Into the World

3)    Jesus Taught Scripture, Glorified God and Demonstrated Biblical Principles Constantly

4)    Jesus Sent His Disciples Out in Twos (because of wolves)
