The Mandates of Jesus

“Welcome to our free resource center! Here you’ll find 105 lessons on the mandates (commands) of Jesus from the Gospels and Revelation. Start with the Introduction, then proceed through the numbered lessons in order. These are designed to help you study, obey, and teach Jesus’ commands as part of fulfilling the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18–20).” Matthew 28:18-20 (NIV)Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Jesus also said, “He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.” John 14:21 (NKJV)

And he said “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock.” This is the verse that explicitly describes the wise man’s action: (Matthew 7:24 NKJV) So hearing Jesus’ teachings and putting them into practice (obeying/doing them) is what this site is all about. The rock represents a solid foundation built on obedience. In the table below clickable links with a pdf for each lesson will be available soon. Our contention is that if you have, keep and teach the mandates of Jesus you are making disciples. This is not a quick process. It is not to be picked over with some parts discarded and other parts over emphasized. It is a set curriculum, given by the greatest teacher who ever was, is and is to come! Let us teach what Jesus said to teach!
