Jesus commanded the first disciples to make disciples - and teach them to do likewise. In the first centuries of the church, it was very clear what it meant to be a disciple ofJesus, but over the years some of that clarity was lost. This short study aims to clarify what it means to be a disciple.

Disciples of Jesus:

- learn Jesus' words and put them into practice (learners/ apprentices)

- commit themselves daily to lay down their lives and live for Jesus (devoted followers)

- follow Jesus on HIS terms, not their own

- are becoming like Jesus (our Master)

- make disciples.
