Living on Mission – B|Disciplers
Jesus told
His own disciples to go into all the world and make disciples. These guys knew
what discipleship looked like because they did life with Jesus for around 3
years. They had free access to His life. Every day they walked with Him,
listened to Him, watched his interactions with people, and shared the table
with Him and whoever He invited to join. The disciples saw the Good News in
action every day and were transformed by it.
Caesar
Kalinowski said, “Life together with Jesus was not just a weekly
meeting. It shouldn’t be for our relationships either.” This is so true!
What do our discipling relationships look like?
Paul and Timothy were a great example of a healthy discipling
relationship. They spent a good deal of time doing life together while they
traveled to share the Good News. When they weren’t together, Paul kept in touch
and encouraged Timothy through letters, encouraging him to carry on and make
disciples to perpetuate the mission.
“The Disciples had access to every part of Jesus' life for
years. Discipleship is moving from unbelief to belief in the gospel in every
area of life. That means those we are discipling will need to see and
experience the gospel transforming us in every area too.” ~ Caesar Kalinowski
The disciples had access to Jesus’ life. Timothy had access to
Paul’s life. Who has access to your life? Who is able to see the Good News
transforming you?
Let’s practice Living on Mission and B|Disciplers like Jesus and
Paul – doing life together and watching the Good News transform our lives
together.
