LOL Groups - Lesson 3 - Jesus' Priority: Discipleship
Description
Jesus never used the word Christian. He simply said, “Follow Me.” That was the first thing he said to Peter, when he called him, “Follow me.” Matthew 4, verse 19. Jesus preferred method to describe those who followed him was “disciple.” In Luke 14 v 27, Jesus says, “Whoever does not bear his own cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.” In the NT, followers of Jesus are called Christians 3x, believers 15x But disciples? 235x. Jesus’ call was not to invite him into your heart OR say the sinners’ prayer. Jesus’ call was and is: Follow Me. But what did Jesus mean when he said, “Follow me?” Jesus' last words to his disciples were "Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded." How did Jesus' so-called Great Commission become our Great Omission and what it might it look for the church to rediscover the Jesus' way today?
