presentation on christian discipleship

Christian discipleship involves a lifelong transformation process of following Jesus' teachings. It requires accepting Jesus as master, attaching oneself to him, committing to him, and maintaining a lifelong relationship with him. True discipleship means internalizing Jesus' teachings so that pleasing God influences all areas of one's life. The goal is to move from an ideal self to becoming one's actual self in Christ. Discipleship is a personal relationship with Christ, not just mental knowledge, and involves hearing from Jesus, obeying him, enjoying time with him, and coming to know him more deeply.

CHRISTIAN DISCIPLESHIP 1
From the book of Cost of Discipleship this famous statement has been quoted around the world, “When Christ calls a man he bids him come and die,” it is true that this sentence summarizes the depth of discipleship. The vision for becoming a disciple is often referred to as The Great Commission - Matt. 28:18 – 20. .
Etymology • Many Christians refer to themselves as members of the church rather than disciples. For them disciples were the twelve who spent intimate and quality time with Jesus during His earthly ministry. • The word “Disciple” is derived from the Greek word “Mathetes”. Literally meaning – a leaner • Mathetes is one who directs his mind to something – a pupil or a student • Hence disciple is one who attaches himself to a teacher and follows his teaching
What is Discipleship? Christian discipleship is the transformation process that turns a believer into the person God wants him to be. Elements necessary for discipleship Knowledge and experience are necessary in discipleship. Only mental knowledge about Jesus does not suffice rather experience and personal encounter with him can help in building our relationship with him.
4 elements of Christian discipleship 1) Accept Jesus as my master 2) Attachment to the person of Jesus 3) Commitment to the person of Jesus 4) Life long relationship with Jesus
Discipleship should not be mistaken with ministry of a Christian person While discipleship belongs to the core of the person His/ her ministry indicates his way of functioning Discipleship should enable one to choose his/ her ministry and not vise versa
Call to discipleship by Jesus is universal to all. Criteria to live our discipleship is same for all Christians Lk 9:23 However we can exercise our discipleship through different ways of functions e.g. priesthood, married life

Our love for discipleship should not be compliance or identification but internalization compliance Internalization that leads us to move from ideal self to actual self identification internalization
Process of Discipleship Close to Christ Growing in Christ Centered on Christ Exploring Christ unbeliever
Franciscan discipleship Franciscan vocation to live the discipleship should be something that Celano describes He was always with Jesus: Jesus was in his heart, Jesus in his mouth, Jesus in his ears, Jesus in his eyes Jesus in his hands, he bore Jesus always in his whole body… (2Cel 115)
Christianity without discipleship is always Christianity without Christ. - Dietrich Bonheoffer
True discipleship When God is the center of our lives, we live to please Him. When we please God, we want Him to influence each area of our lives. This is discipleship.
