"Pastor, if we're supposed to make disciples, what exactly is one?" Two questions for you: 1. Are you discipling someone right now? 2. If so, do you know exactly what you are doing when you are making a disciple? Let's first define what a disciple is. Jesus said, "Come. Follow me." to his first chosen disciples. ...yet not everyone following Jesus is a disciple of Jesus... 3 Groups in Luke 6:12-19: 1. 12 disciples / apostles. 2. A large crowd of disciples. 3. People who really just wanted something from Jesus. Disciples strive to imitate, to obey, to live out the teachings of their teacher. The goal for a disciple is to become like the one they follow. Acknowledging our shortcomings, our sins, our inability to be perfect like Jesus is right where God wants His disciples to be- humble and repentant. God continues to mold us ever-increasingly to be like Jesus. (Philippians 2:13) A disciple follows Jesus to become like Him so that we can participate with Him on His mission to the world.
