Authentic Discipleship is the process by which people are brought into a relationship of obedience to Christ that affects every area of their life and causes them to be more like Jesus.
According to the Great Commission, we are to be about the business of making disciples.
Authentic Disciples Abide In Jesus (vs.
1-11)
Ten times in 11 verses abide is used
The first sentence in vs. 4 is almost like a dare in the structure of the Greek.
Abide - to establish as home
Where you abide is where you belong
“Watch what I will do if you abide in me...”
Thibodeaux and Boudreaux and the guy who jumped from the bridge
The promise of abiding is the fruit that will be born in our lives
Galatians 5:22-23
Some Tools of Abiding: Bible Study, Prayer, Meditation, Fasting, Journaling, Giving, Worshipping
As a Disciple learns to abide in Jesus, he will desire to become EVEN MORE like Jesus!
Authentic Disciples Love One Another (vs.
12-17)
A Disciple is not just committed to Christ, he is concerned with the needs of others.
Jesus gives some very strong instruction regarding the importance of a disciple loving those around him.
Matthew 22:37
But Jesus goes even further to describe how we are to love one another as disciples:
Disciples must go further than loving their neighbors as they love themselves, they are to love one another as Jesus loved them!
As Disciples learn to abide in Jesus, they will love one another more and more!
Authentic Disciples Expect Persecution (vs.
18-25)
We must be honest with those who we disciple, the more they abide in Jesus, the more they love one another, the more the world will hate them!
John 15:19
We don’t like to celebrate this promise of Jesus!
If we are like Jesus, we will NOT be like the world!
Discipling people is helping them to see that they can rejoice even when persecution comes because that is to be expected:
Well, that doesn’t sound very likely to attract people to become disciples does it?
What Jesus promises after persecution is the key to surviving whatever this world may throw at you!
Authentic Disciples Depend Upon the Holy Spirit (vs.
26-27, 16:5-15)
John 15:26
Just hang on, he says, the helper is coming!
To the disciples in the early days of the church, this promise was, as yet, unfulfilled.
To the disciple today, to the one who has received His freely offered gift of salvation, the promise has been fulfilled.
Paul says in that the Holy Spirit has sealed us “for the day of redemption.”
The disciple who abides in Jesus, learns to love others as Jesus loves him and can face anything that comes his way in the assurance that GOD IS WITH HIM!
