Hello, and welcome to my blog. Today I want to relate my insight on the teaching, What Make A True Disciple of The Lord Jesus Christ? Brought to us by Bro. Eli Soriano.
Todays topic answers a question that even myself had been a bit confused about which is 'Who are disciples'? Matthew 28 verse 19 to 20 lets us know how disciples come to be.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
This verse shows us how disciples of Christ continue to grow in numbers. Verse 20 emphasizes on the disciples observing the teachings of Christ.
True discipleship comes by obeying and observing the teachings of Christ. In Luke 6 verse 46 he emphasized that you may think yourself a disciple because you call him Lord but if you don't follow his teachings, then you are not a disciple. According to 1st Timothy 4 verse 13, disciples are instructed to continue to read and teach the scripture and also encourage others to same.
One other thing I could pick from Bro. Eli. teaching today is that apostles are disciples but not all disciples are apostles. It was shown in Luke 6 verse 13
And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;
In summary I could understand that to be a disciples of Christ is to observe the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Remain blessed
