We had a great discussion tonight. A few "take-aways" that I wanted to share...
We discussed what it looks like to be a disciple for us. One idea was that we look at the words we used to describe Him in the past few weeks. While not all of them apply to us, many do. Looking at them certainly made us realize what a tall order it is to live like Christ. Some words that stood out were: obedient, loving, compassionate, kind, generous, accepting, strong, calm, confident...
Jeff made the connection between disciple and discipline. We discussed how in education we stress that discipline does not mean "to punish." It means "to teach." So...we are taught by Christ and we teach...perhaps not by words, but by actions.
All of this led us to the question, "What goal am I setting my face toward each day?" This is one of those questions I need to post-it note to my mirror so I don't lose sight of it. I hope that you will consider it as you begin each day as a disciple of Christ. Blessings to all!
