“The 11 disciples traveled to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had directed them. When they saw Him, they worshipped, but some doubted. Then Jesus came near and said to them, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember I am with you always, to the end of the age.” -Matthew 28:16-20 (HCSB)
Isn’t it unbelievable? Jesus had taken 11 disciples and turned the world upside down. In three years the disciples saw Jesus heal the sick, raise the dead, and teach about what it means to be in the Kingdom of God. After Jesus’ death and resurrection, Jesus tells them “Now you are almost ready”.
Almost ready for what? The disciples knew that only through Jesus Christ were they able to do what He did. They must have thought “What are we going to do know, and how are we going to do it?” Jesus remedied that. Jesus said that “all authority has been give to Me in heaven and earth”. Jesus had all the power and right; he had it all. He would make all things possible
Jesus then goes on saying, “Go, therefore and make disciples”. Since Jesus had all authority, he told his disciples in confidence to go and make disciples. It’s around two thousand years later, and we see the fruits of their labor. Christ is being spread around the world rapidly. Praise the Lord!

But it doesn’t end there. Christ has also called us, his disciples, to do the same. He has called us to:
- Seek- Christ told his disciples to GO; today He calls us to seek out. We need to go and seek out where God is working. It may be in a school, in your home, or in your neighborhood. Where do you see God working?
- Embrace – Jesus told his disciples to MAKE; He calls us to embrace. We need to embrace the hurt and the lost. We need to embrace the young person who is navigating through their journey; to embrace them no matter what the cost, to tell them that they are loved and that, most importantly, God loves them and sent His Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross
- Disciple – Jesus told his disciples to make DISCIPLES; He calls us to do the same. Once we have Sought and Embraced, we need to disciple young people into a closer relationship with the Father and to grow within the community of believers. We are to do so-so they may be mature, not swaying back and forth, and not to be swayed by any false teaching.

This is the purpose of the S.E.D.U.T.H. website and the ministry: to Seek, Embrace, and Disciple Uth To Him. We desire to seek youth who are looking for an answer, and cannot find it elsewhere, and are looking to God. We desire to embrace them, to make thembrothers and sisters of this family we call the Church. We desire to disciple them so that they may be mature, to become the next leaders for this world who follow God over all things. Welcome to SEDUTH Online. I hope that you enjoy the experience of this site, and that you may experience Christ in all His fullness.
Be Blessed!
