“Teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you” (Matt. 28:20). Embedded in this phrase are a few truths worth noting: • Discipleship must be centered on the Scriptures — the Bible is the textbook. • Discipleship must involve teaching/preaching. • Discipleship is more than transfer of information. Jesus doesn’t just say, “Teach them all my commands.” He says, “Teach them to observe or obey all that I have commanded.”
