Mr Freeman raised his hand to quiet the class. The students were excited because it was the last night of class.  " It's 6 pm and we have a lot to review". He smiled at the students. " Let's get started". He began to write on the white board. " Can anyone tell me what reaping has to do with making disciples?".
A hand went up.
" Yes Roger".
" When a person makes a decision to cut himself from his old sinful self and say yes to a new life in Christ".
" Roger, you are completely correct". He wrote something else on the board. " Can somebody tell me what threshing has to do with making disciples?".
A hand went up.
" Yes Denise".
" It is when a person leaves the affairs of his former life such as habits and desires but it takes time to do and you need support and love".
" That is correct and I want to stress the part that it takes a lot of time to change and you need lots of support and love from others". He wrote something else on the board. " Can anyone tell me what winnowing has to do with making disciples?".
A hand went up.
" Yes Mary".
" A new christian leaves his old life behind and seriously begins to follow Jesus".
" That is correct". He erased the three words and wrote two more on the board. " Frank, what are the two words that I just put on the board?".
" Make disciples".
" That is the message of Matthew 28:19-20 and that is the message that I have been teaching you in this class".
" Class is dismissed, please rise".
The students stood up.
" Leave this classroom, go forth and make disciples of all nations in the name of Jesus Christ".

The End.
