DISCIPLE?...

Week 1
FIRST JEWEL, we discovered what it meant to be a DISCIPLE.

Andrew and Peter were the first two disciples to follow Jesus. They had been following John and learning about Jesus. And then… Jesus shows up. So, they left John and began following Jesus because a DISCIPLE is a follower and a student.

Jesus asked Andrew and Peter, ‘Why are you following me, what is it that you want?’ They didn’t just want to learn about Him. They wanted to know Him. So, He invited them to come with Him. They followed Him and they learned how to act and live like Him by getting to know Him and by being with Him.

In John 1:35-49, we discovered nine names and reasons to follow Jesus. We can be His DISCIPLES by following and imitating Him. In order to follow Him; we must admit that we need Him, accept His gift to rescue us, and turn away from our own selfish ways.
