The Disciples

I don't know about you, but I have really enjoyed the "Daily Readings from the Life of Christ" over the last few days. In the devotional we've been looking at the disciples one by one. It's great to be reminded of who these ordinary men were who did extraordinary things for the Kingdom of God. I take courage and enjoyment in seeing how God used these men and to think how He still uses us supernaturally today to accomplish His purposes in our lives.

A disciple is a fully-devoted life-long follower of Jesus. Our goal as God's church is to make disciples. We are called to go to them and meet them where they are, baptize them, and teach them to obey everything that Jesus commanded us. Then we, as ordinary men and women, can live the extraordinary Christian life as disciples, true followers of the Way. What a privilege and honor it is to serve God in such a way!
