Discipling the NationsInitial Words

Jesus, the Desire of all nations, wasnot to be limited to a single group.

Christs followers would transcendnational boundaries, internationalconflicts, language differences, and

other difficulties, because He hadestablished the pattern of cross-

cultural evangelism.

1. Foretold By the ProphetsGentile Conversions

Ancient prophets foretold theconversion of non-Jewish people(Gentiles) to a scripturally based

faith.

Israels commission was to broadcast

Gods universal invitation to thesurrounding nations.


12/23


Israel was to be the light of thenations.

Seeing the wonderful advantagesthat the Israelites had, heathennations would inquire about the

Israelites monotheistic faith, andthus many of them would beconverted to the true God.


13/23


Modern Christians face a similarchallenge. Will they sacrificially investin furthering the gospel, or will they

become inwardly focused, forgettingtheir larger purpose?

Our burden for the regions beyond

can never be laid down until the wholeearth shall be lightened with the glory

of the Lord.Testimonies 6:28, 29.


14/23


Christ wanted His own people towake up to what their true callingand purpose was as a people; to see

that salvation, even for them was notsomething that a person is born into.

It was something that requires aconscious choice to accept, a choicethat even those who werent of Israel

could, and did, make.

Discipling the Nations2. Exemplified By Jesus

John 12:20-26And there were certain

Greeksthat came up to worship at

the feast. The same came toPhilipsaying, Sir, we would see

Jesus. And Jesus answered them,If any

man serve me, let him follow me;

and where I am, there shall also my

2. Exemplified By JesusWe Would See Jesus

Among the crowd assembling forPassover were Greek worshipers.

Notice their words to Philip, Sir, wewould see Jesus. In other words,

they wanted to see Jesus.

They wanted to be with Him.They wanted to learn from Him.

2. Exemplified By JesusWe Would See Jesus

What a testimony to the universalcharacter of Christ and His message!

Jesus granted these men their wish.Notice what He said to them:

If any man, meaning any man,

woman, Jew, or Greek, wanted tofollow Him, they could, but it would

come at a cost.

2. Exemplified By JesusBreaking Down Barriers

Israels leaders found it unthinkablethat Jesus would consider teachingGreeks. Jesus countered by empha-

sizing character above ethnic origin.He used the story of a Samaritan to

teach what it meant to fulfill Gods law.A rebuke to all who scorn someone in

need because the person is not of

their own ethnic background.

Discipling the Nations3. Commissioned By God

Matthew 28:19, 20 NKJV Go therefore and make disciplesof all the nations, baptizing them in

the name of the Father and of theSon and of the Holy Spirit, teaching

them to observe all things that Ihave commanded you; andlo, I am with you always, even to the

end of the age.

3. Commissioned By GodInto the World

Gods final work is incomplete untilthe eternal gospel expressed in the

message of the three angels found inRevelation 14 has crossed every

racial, ethnic, national, and

geographical boundary.Gods triumph and its proclamation

are assured.

This must happen, but whowilloffer themselves as Gods channels

of grace? Whowill join Christ in the

overturning of the racial, ethnic, andlanguage barriers? Whowill empty

their wallets and pocketbooks?Whowill sacrifice earthly comfortsand family associations in order to

advance heavens cause?

Our missionary success has beenfully proportionate to our self-denying, self-sacrificing effort.

God alone can estimate the workaccomplished as the gospel message

has been proclaimed in clear,straight lines. Thousands havebeen brought to a knowledge of the

truth as it is in Jesus.Testimonies 6:28.

Discipling the NationsFinal Words

A certain Samaritancame wherethe sufferer was, and when he saw

him, he had compassion on him.

He did not question whether thestranger was a Jew or a Gentile.

Thus the question, Who is myneighbor? is forever answered.

Our neighbor is every person who

needs our help The Desire of Ages 503
