The Great Commission tells Christians how the church is to be built; that is, how do we build one another in a spiritual body? Jesus tells us in Matthew 16 that He will build His church. We should base our efforts on the pattern Jesus established. How did Jesus go about building the spiritual House of God in His earthly ministry? He made disciples. When Jesus commanded His disciples to "follow me", what did that mean in its first century Jewish context?
