When you think of a disciple what comes to mind?  Do you think of the 12 disciples?  Do you think of guys wearing togas?  Do you think of yourself?  Do you think of yourself in a toga (not a pretty thought).  Well, if you’re a Christian then you are a disciple – toga or not.

The bible uses the word ‘disciple’ more than any other word to describe what the followers of Jesus are?  ‘Disciple’ appears in more than 200 verses of the new testament but the word ‘Christian’ in only 3 verses.  Now there’s nothing wrong with calling ourselves Christians (after all, ‘Christian’ means ‘little Christ’), but Christians should identify themselves as disciples.

What is a disciple?  What motivates the disciple? What do disciples do?  These are questions that I hope to stir up and answer in the next week through several posts called “4 Things Disciples Do”.

In case you’re wondering…

Disciples Follow.  Disciples Obey.  Disciples Die.  Disciples Go

Stay tuned for more…
