The Call to Discipleship: Following Jesus Fully

Discipleship is a lifelong commitment to following Jesus, growing in His likeness, and sharing His love with others. It requires surrender, dedication, and a heart willing to be transformed.

The Cost of Discipleship

Luke 9:23 explains: “Then he said to them all: ‘Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.’”

Discipleship involves self-denial and a willingness to embrace God’s will over our own. It is a daily choice to follow Jesus, no matter the cost.

Growing in Christlikeness

2 Peter 3:18 urges believers: “But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.”

Discipleship is a journey of growth. By studying Scripture, spending time in prayer, and seeking God’s guidance, we mature in our faith and reflect His character.

Making Disciples

Matthew 28:19-20 contains the Great Commission: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Discipleship isn’t just about personal growth—it’s about helping others discover and follow Jesus. Sharing the Gospel and mentoring others is a vital part of fulfilling this call.

Walking in Humility: The Path to True Greatness

Humility is at the heart of the Christian faith. It reflects a proper understanding of our dependence on God and our calling to serve others.

Jesus as the Ultimate Example

Philippians 2:5-7 highlights Christ’s humility: “In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.”

Jesus’ humility is a model for us to follow. By serving others and putting their needs above our own, we emulate His character.

The Blessing of Humility

James 4:10 promises: “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.”

God honors those who humble themselves before Him. Humility opens the door for His blessings and allows Him to work through us in powerful ways.

Serving Others in Humility

1 Peter 5:5 instructs: “In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, ‘God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.’”

Humility involves putting others first and serving with a heart of compassion. It strengthens relationships and builds a community centered on love and respect.
