MATTHEW 28:19-20:
"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, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
For the last couple days we've been talking about what it means to really follow Christ.
One of the greatest examples of this, are the disciples that so closely followed Jesus.
There were 12 to be exact. Some followed Him closer than the others, and one even ended up betraying Him for money in the end.
With our discipleship to Jesus, it is up to us how closely we want to follow.
The word DISCIPLE simply means: LEARNER.
According to Vine's Expository Dictionary, it is someone who "follows another's teachings". Disciples were known as imitators of their teachers, as they lived to showcase the characteristics of their Rabi.
Do you have a strong desire to follow Jesus and become like Him?
Unless you do, it cannot be said that you are truly His disciple!
TODAY:
A whole adventure lies within our discipleship to Jesus because it is full of learning new things everyday. If you are devoted to Him, be open for what He wants to teach you today!
