What is a disciple anyway? Click, and read on…

Luke 11:2-4 is often called the Lord’s prayer.

More accurately, it’s called the disciple’s prayer.

Jesus has called us to make disciples of all nations. But what does a disciple look like?

1. Disciples recognize God as their loving Father. They are not afraid of him. They understand in their heart of hearts that God loves and accepts them, and because of that they joyfully and confidently draw near to him.
2. Disciples honor their Father’s name. By the way they think. By the way they speak. By the way they act.
3. Disciples make the kingdom of God their top priority, even above their own needs. And their desire is that all the world would honor God as they do.
4. Disciples are dependent on their Father, utterly trusting him for both for their physical needs and spiritual protection.
5. Disciples realize their need for God’s mercy and grace every day. And because of that, they extend that mercy and grace to the people around them.

That’s the kind of disciple I want to be.

That’s the kind of disciple I want to raise.
