Before Jesus ascended to heaven, He gave His last instructions, telling us to "go make disciples" and "teach them to observe all things I have commanded you."
But what are the commands of Jesus?
Norman H. Drummond, who has served in a variety of Christian ministries over more than forty-five years, tackles that important question. As you read, learn how to:
- identify the commands of Jesus found in the four gospels;
- recognize the difference between which of Jesuses words are commands and which are important, precious, amazing, and awesome, but not commandments;
- "make disciples" by clearly teaching new believers "all things I have commanded you."
The commandments of Jesus were not handed to us as a concise list like the one Moses received on Mount Sinai. However, His commandments are recorded for us in scripture, and He expects us to obey them.
Studying these commandments reveal a major difference between the commandments given to Moses and those given by Jesus. They are as different as "Thou shalt not ..." and "If you love me ..." and they are eternal truth.
