Follow Me: Discipleship According to Jesus
Imagine hearing Jesus say to you, “Follow me.”
He’s not telling you to go to church, study theology or change your occupation. He’s beckoning you to become his disciple. How do you do that in the 21st century?
It’s as simple, and as radical, as building your life on the foundation of Jesus’ seven discipleship sayings.“If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples” (John 8:31).“If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple” (Luke 14:26).“Whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple” (Luke 14:27).“Those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples” (Luke 14:33).“By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another” (John 13:35).“This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples” (John 15:8).“Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:19-20).If you want to be a disciple of Jesus, these are the Scriptures that must shape your life. Follow Me is a practical and encouraging guidebook to discipleship as Jesus defined it. Questions for reflection and small-group discussion are included.
