Last week we were focusing on the strategy of making disciples. Now this week we will pin point the who we are actually discipling. You can’t be a disciple of something or someone if you aren’t following them. You have to be “following” an Instagram page to be a “follower” and so it is with Jesus. We are called to evangelize everyone with the Good News, but as we are intentional with who we disciple, we need to be sure they are followers in the first place. You can’t model someone that you aren’t following, because they can’t have an influence on your life if you aren’t concerned with who they are and what they are about. Maybe you are into homesteading like me. I follow a few encouraging people to get ideas and model our farm off of those ideas that they have shown me. Once a new nurse I was being discipled in how to act like a nurse, think like a nurse, talk like a nurse, and to be a more devoted nurse with all areas that the trade required of me. So it is with followers of Christ. As we learn more about Him, the natural response will be to become more like Him in all that we do, say, and think. May you be encouraged this week to surrender Your life to the one who died for you. If you already have committed your own life to the Lord, may you be found growing all the more in His likeness and walking along side other followers of Christ as they do the same. Have a blessed weekend friends!
