We all are called by God to play a very important role in the establishment of his kingdom. As Jesus left this earth he gave us what I call the Last Commandment. This is also referred to as the great commission. We see it in Matthew 28:18-20

18. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

19. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Here Jesus begins by explaining that He now has all power. In the account of the Last Commandment in Acts 1:8 Jesus says

But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

In Mt 28:18 he declares that He has ALL power and in Acts declares that we will receive power. He continues in Mt. 28:19 with a command. "Go ye therefore and teach all nations.” This can also be interpreted "Go ye therefore and make disciples of all nations.” The power that Jesus has and has promised us is to enable us to make disciples of all the nations.

The word disciple, as used throughout the New Testament, is the Greek word mathetes. Mathetes means learner or pupil. It derives from the word matheo, which means to learn; understand. Looking at these 2 words it is obvious that our modern word mathematics also comes from them. Mathematics is the study of numbers and symbols. A disciple then is a learner or pupil. A disciple not only learns but understands. The only way that one can learn is for something to be taught. We are not truly teaching if the pupil or learner is unable to understand what is being taught. As disciple builders we are to teach the people of God in a manner that is easily understandable.
