Discipleship Then and
Now
Lesson graphic





SABBATH AFTERNOON

Read for This Week's Study:

Matt. 24:14; 28:19, 20; Mark 16:20; John 3:21-30; Acts 5:34-39.

Memory Text:

"Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied " (Mark 16:20, NIV).
Discipleship goes back to even before the time of Jesus' earthly ministry. Several centuries before His coming into this world in human flesh, there were disciple-gathering teachers who influenced the lives of others with their instructions. This was true with the Greeks, the Jews, the Chinese, and other ancient cultures. Several of these teachers refused to accept the use of the term teacher in reference to themselves or that of disciple in reference to their pupils, so close was the bond between them.

This week, discipleship is compared with Jesus' discipleship, and examines its implications for Jesus' disciples living in the twenty-first century.

This Week at a Glance:

What was discipleship like among the Greeks and the Jews? How was discipleship different with John the Baptist and with Jesus of Nazareth? What applications for the contemporary task of discipleship can we gain from discipleship in the time of Jesus?

*Study this week's lesson to prepare for Sabbath, January 12.
