Episode 20: Legacy Study Week 6-Being a Disciple-All is God’s-Pursue God’s Word-Love Others-Abide

This week we are addressing being a disciple of Jesus. This is not a Salvation issue. It is a personal choice to follow the general crowd or to daily sit at the feet of Jesus. Many were following Jesus for a variety of reasons. Some to hear him teach, others to be healed, but just because they were part of the crowd didn’t mean they all continued to follow. Many stopped following Christ when it was too hard, especially when a difficult subject was approached. It was at that point that the crowd quickly fled, but Peters response is iconic. “Lord to whom shall we go?” As Christ Followers, but more importantly, as Disciples of Christ, we should continue steadfast under the teachings of Christ and Him leading us because He alone has the Words of Eternal life. He is where our hope is found. Four indicators for identifying yourself as a disciple of Jesus are to recognize that all is God’s, to be in pursuit of His Word, having a great love for others that’s elevated above your own needs and desires, and abiding in Christ sitting daily in His presence. Are you a disciple of Jesus? What would it take for you to be able to abide in Christ in a more complete way? My hope is you will leave here encouraged and pursuing to become a more devoted Christ Follower. Have a blessed week!
