Jesus invested in people. The largest contribution He made toward people was when He died on the cross. The dividends continue to benefit countless people who embrace Him as Lord and Savior.

To invest in people is the true essence of discipleship. As Jesus Christ invested in his disciples his disciples invested in others. The beauty of this model that Christ created is the reason the precious word of God is delivered. It’s quite contagious.
