The Lost Art of Discipleship

One Family
We’re in a message series called One Thing. The apostle Paul said: Philippians 3:13-14 (NIV) This “one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal…” What’s the goal? To be like Jesus. Paul was focused on one thing: Becoming like Christ. Many of you have made a commitment to Christ. You’ve surrendered your life to Him as Savior and Lord. But you’ve lost focus. You started out focused on Christ, but He is no longer the organizing principle of your life. He isn’t the focus. Perhaps we’ve made following Christ too complicated. We’ve forgotten that following Christ means we have to hang out with the other disciples. Can you hear Peter saying? “Sure Jesus, I’ll follow you, but do I have to hang out with Judas over there?” No, following Christ, we become one of His disciples together. Connecting together as we follow Christ has a sharpening effect. It sharpens our focus on Christ. As it says in Proverbs 27:17 (NIV) "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another." In the book of Romans the apostle Paul told the Roman Christians that even though they had followed Christ by an individual decision they must recognize that in following Him they had become one body, connected to other believers. When we follow Christ we make must make an individual decision to follow, but that leads to a corporate identity. We become the body of Christ connected to every other believer.
