Jesus said, “This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.” John 15:8 NIV. A journey with Christ results in ‘bearing fruit’ – making disciples. This is the inevitable outcome of such a relationship. In the context of this passage Jesus is referring to Himself as the vine and His followers as the branches. The whole context of this passage seems to centre on an understanding of mission. It is impossible, then, to be a follower of Jesus and not make disciples. Making disciples is therefore not a casual activity His followers engage in once or twice a year. It is an on-going way of living. Jesus invites people into a life of continuous disciple-making.
