Lesson 2
The Nature Of Discipleship
I. Some introductory thoughts and principles
(See Discipleship In The Ministry of Jesus by Jones)
1. Jesus followers were called disciples
(See Matthew 5:1, 2)
2. Later, when the church was established following the resurrection of Jesus, the
disciples were called Christians first at Antioch
(Acts 11:26)
3. The word disciple comes from a word which means a learner, but it also includes one
who follows the teaching of another
a. The disciples of John
(Matthew 9:14)
b. The disciples of the Pharisees
(Matthew 22:16)
c. The disciples of Moses
(John 9:28)
4. Please notice that a disciple will bear much fruit in his life, fruit that is pleasing to
his Master
(John 15:8)
WHAT DOES THIS REALLY MEAN?
5. To be the disciple of the Lord, we must hold to the teaching of Christ
(John 8:31, 32)
(Ephesians 2:10)
5. If we are part of Gods eternal purpose, we must find out how He wants us to live.
MAN HAS NEVER BEEN LEFT BY GOD TO LIVE AS MAN DESIRES!
