Discipleship is not biblical #2

In trying to live, preach and win people to Christ we find the point in us where we understand how much we need Christ. 

 

There are over 30K books on Amazon about discipleship… BUT IM GOING TO TELL YOU THE BEST WAY TO BE A DISCIPLE IS TO EVERYDAY TELL PEOPLE ABOUT JESUS - it stirs you in ways a book,  a sermon, a song, a movie, a special speaker, DVD could ever do

 

You really want to know the secret of knowing God, seeing his power move and hearing his voice? TELL PEOPLE ABOUT JESUS - PERIOD! 

 

If you are to become a master chef… You go to the schools in France, you read books, you work side by side next to some of the greatest chefs, you cut up veggies, you make sauces, you butcher meat, you create sauces and dips… but you never make a meal, you never serve a meal… have you truly been discipled as a chef? 

 

We hear it again and again… discipleship is to be more like him… BUT WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? WHAT DID HE DO? 

He taught, he loved, he healed, he rebuked, he restored, he hung with sinners, he served, he confronted hypocrisy, he spent time with the Father… but all for what purpose? To reach the world for Christ! 

BUT WHAT WAS HIS MOTIVE BEHIND ALL OF THESE?

WHAT WAS HIS END GAME?

To win people to Christ. 

 

 

Its easy to fall into a mindset and lifestyle of Christianity that serves us… I love Gods promises, his blessings and his comfort - who doesn’t!! But Discipleship is about denying ourselves…

Luke 9:23 Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.

 

 

The biggest failure of the 21st century church is they have lost the idea behind what true discipleship is. Discipleship is making disciples - PERIOD! 

 

***The church has magnified and glorified becoming more like Jesus, but not doing what Jesus does.
