You know, it’s so easy for us to tell someone that we are disciples of Christ. The very label “Christian” means that we belong to Christ. But, are we really there yet in terms of belonging to Christ? This belonging means that we are part of Him, we are following him, we are His disciple as we learn more about Him. In the end, we will have such a relationship with Him that we know with certainty that we are His! But first, discipleship. So are we following Him?

Let us delve into the word of God to determine what is a disciple, what is discipleship, then move on to how Jesus views discipleship. As we unfold the scriptures, I pray that each one of us will individually gauge where we are in our discipleship walk with Christ, and where we are in our relationship with God our Father.
