A Call to Compel: The Simplicity, Urgency, and Joy of Making Disciples
If you want to be happy, make disciples.
Jesus told "If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love....that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full."
Obedience to Jesus produces joy. And He left us a clear directive to obey until He "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations...teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
So we know exactly what we're to obey—and He promised to be with us as we obey. 'Being' disciples means 'making' disciples. And when we make disciples, we teach them to obey everything Jesus commanded. Why? Because, as we've seen, obedience to Jesus produces joy.
When it comes to making disciples, our role is we simply obey the commands of our Master. Jesus likened the Kingdom of heaven to a King who put on a wedding banquet for his son—and sent his servants to tell those who were invited that the feast was ready. It's a parable, but it describes in a real way what the Lord is doing to draw people to Jesus sends those who already belong to Him to bear witness to those who do not yet know Him and invite them to the Marriage Support of the Lamb in the age to come.
Our task is simple. Our work is urgent. And our obedience to Jesus is the path to our own joy.

Incredibly blessed by reading this book. Simple truth and reminder that we have been given the task to go out and compel as many as we can to come to Christ. I was encouraged and convicted by the scripture based call throughout the book that our commission to make disciples begins in sharing the good news with the lost and dying around us and that we have the One who compels us to do so living in us and empowering us in sharing the gospel. Ultimately we are to be obedient to the call to share the gospel and leave the rest up to Him.
