You may remember a few months back I did some posts on Discipleship. Well I want to do some more.
A while back I shared a verse and some thoughts on what Discipleship was. Today I want to revist that question again. What is discipleship?
The word for Disciple comes from the same rout as learner or perhaps better apprentise.
Apprentises learn in many different ways but basically they want to copy and mimic their master who they are learning from. They won't look the exact same. They might do things differently and in their own way but they want to take the essence and import features from their teacher.
Eventually, disciples may even start training other people and in fact it is usually a mark of having graduated. Think about the Jedi in Star Wars, as soon as Obi wan is a Jedi in the first film (which should never be mentioned again) he is assigned a padawan to train.
So, Discipleship is about becoming more like Jesus and also the daily process of following him.
