Suppose that you considered discipleship in the same way Jesus discipled. The Lord, while He was on the earth, concentrated His ministry on only a few disciples with the goal of training them in depth. He trained them so thoroughly that they were able to repeat His example in reaching others. Now, suppose that you were privileged to lead someone to the Lord, and then, you concentrated primarily on discipling just that one person. And suppose you spent an entire year discipling this new believer, so that by the end of the year, he was able, not only to lead another to the Lord, but was able to disciple the new convert in the same way he was discipled.

Maybe the Lord is leading you to disciple someone right now. As you spend quite time with the Lord, ask Him if there is someone that could use your guidance and knowledge. Ask the Lord to give you an opportunity to share the Love of Jesus with someone. You never know who the Lord is going to bring you. Take the time to hear the Lord and his directions for your life.

Trusting Jesus,

Pastor Chris McDonald
