Episode 51 - 12/04/24

This week we look at what the bible says about the discipleship and discipling others. This is the final part in a three part series.

Discipleship Begins with Personal Growth: Before making disciples, one must be a committed disciple of Jesus themselves, reflecting on Isaiah 4:1, which emphasizes the importance of being nurtured and growing in Christ to be effective in disciple-making.

Responsibility of Disciples: The call to make disciples is given specifically to those who are already disciples of Jesus, not to the world at large. This idea is supported by passages like Matthew 28:18-20 and John 17:6-24, which stress that disciples should pass on what they have learned.

Role of Scripture: Effective disciple-making relies on understanding and teaching the commands of Jesus as recorded in the Scriptures. Both John 17 and 2 Timothy 2:2 highlight the importance of teaching and passing on biblical truths faithfully.

Continuous Process of Discipleship: Discipleship is a continuous process involving various stages and different people. No single person has a monopoly on discipling others; rather, it involves multiple contributors over time, as seen in biblical examples like Moses, Timothy, and Apollos.

Unity Through Discipleship: Belief in and adherence to the word of God leads to unity among believers. John 17 emphasizes that unity with God and each other is a result of faithfully following Jesus’ teachings and engaging in true discipleship.
