Investment

Matthew 28:19 “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”

The disciples were invested in, so they could then invest in others. In other words, Jesus says to them: what I have done for you, now go and do the same for someone else; what I have invested into your life, now invest in another believers life. Investing in others is one of the most noble and productive things we can do. Whatever we can do to help others make the world a better place by making the name of Jesus famous. As President Woodrow Wilson said, "You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand."

So, how do you enrich the world and become someone who invests in others? Who are you investing in?
