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. |
