John 6:12
King James Version
8 Jun 2026
“When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.”
μαθητής
Not just a follower — a learner who becomes like the teacher. The last command Jesus gives is not go and convert — it is go and make mathetes. People who learn from Me, walk like Me, think like Me, love like Me. The mission is not decisions. It is transformation.
