What is so brilliant about Jesus’ method of making disciples?

For one thing, it’s unassuming. He is brilliant because His strategy is so unassuming and silent; the hurried pastor may not even recognize it. That’s the marvel and mystery of it. Jesus shows us that it’s not about planning elaborate events or creating big moments. Jesus announced that the Kingdom of God is here, and it has broken into our everyday lives. Sometimes we don’trecognize this because we’re too interested in a special program or big campaign to attract a crowd, and we get off track thinking that’s the purpose. We must remember that the Church isnot a human operation. Jesus is the head of the Church, and He alone gets the final say on what the church ought to be about. Jesus drew large crowds, but that was not His goal. That’s not what drove Him. His disciples saw when they were with Him that every believer could be fulfilling the Great Commission by their lifestyle. Nothing is accidental, nothing is irrelevant, and nothing is without purpose because it’s accomplishing the reason we are made—to know Him, love Him and to find joy in Him forever (R.Coleman)
