OBaD: How Do I Live as a Disciple of Jesus?
OBaD: How Do I Live as a Disciple of Jesus? We’ve been asking ourselves some important questions over the last few weeks about what it means to be a Christian, a follower of Christ, a disciple. We started by asking “Why should we be disciples of Christ?” The answer: because of who we are and who He is. We then asked “What is the cost of being a disciple of Christ?” The answer: everything and nothing! There is no cost that we pay in order to earn being Christ’s disciple. It is with great joy that we sacrifice everything in order to gain the pearl of great price. Finally, we asked “What would it mean for Christ to say that I am His disciple?” The answer: love and obedience. The staggering reality of this answer leads us to today’s question. After setting the bar beyond our reach in saying that the sign of our discipleship is love and obedience, Jesus provides an interesting solution that shows us much about God’s approach to us. The question becomes “HOW do live as a disciple of Christ?” or “How do I grow as a disciple of Christ?” The question grows out of a deeper question: “How CAN I be a disciple of Jesus?” The first disciples lived with Him, walked with Him, ate with Him. The learned from Him. They learned to know what He knew and do what He did with Him and from Him. How can we do that when Christ is not physically present with us? Fortunately, Christ foresaw this question and answered it even before we could ask it. His answer: He would give us “another Counselor.” The Holy Spirit.
