Suggested TopicMatthew 28:18-20 taught by the central protagonist of the Christian faith, Jesus Christ, shares the purpose of the Christian faith as it relates to functional Christian ministry and the advancement of the mobility of the Christian faith in Christian education. This passage of scripture explains the need to be a disciple of Jesus Christ and the spreading of the gospel both abroad and at home with the goal of making more disciples of Jesus Christ. Ultimately, making disciples is the central focus of the Christian's action to propagate the Christian faith and fulfill the commandment of Jesus Christ. The word “disciple,” “μαθητεύσατε” (Aland, Aland, Black, Martini, Metzger, & Wikgren, 1993) in this passage can mean “to be a disciple” (Swanson, 1997) or “to be a student, which implies to 'be a member of the teacher'. (Arndt, Danker and Bauer, 2000). Ultimately, a disciple is someone who models his life after that of his teacher, who in the Christian religion is Jesus Christ. In the synoptic gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, Jesus is often identified as "Teacher" and is seen using a unique teaching approach that triggers transformation in the individual's life. The theological model in practice of this type of transformation is that the individual would return to their social domain in which they reside and make an impact for Jesus Christ, in turn triggering a sociological transformation. Scripture passages such as Matthew 16:13-20, Matthew 22:23-44, Mark 12:28-40, Luke 9:18-27, Luke 8:26-39 and Luke 20:1-18 give an overview of Jesus' pedagogy as he serves as a teacher/facilitator in a dialogue asking probing questions using a Socratic method...... middle of article......
