Day 23 - Jesus' Authority

Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  Matthew 28:18

God has authority over all things.  He gave that authority to Jesus.  Jesus has given it to us - to make disciples. 

His authority is not for wielding power or Lordship over others...His authority is for God's purpose - to make disciples.

In the past few dares, God has been speaking to me about using the opportunities around me to disciples others.  So far, I am discipling a teen in my church and will begin discipling a college student tomorrow.  One of my sister's called and mentioned that she is taking a humanities class this semester and will need my assistance in the Bible portion of the class.  Coincidence?  I think not.

God is up to something and I'm just crazy enough to believe that He wants to use me.

I take today's Dare - to receive His authority to reproduce the Life of Christ in others through Discipleship.  I will do God's work, God's Way!
