Introduction / Introducción

I recently returned to school for the first time in 25 years. I interrupted my studies long ago to marry my wife and support her through school to achieve two master’s degrees.
The Marks of a Faithful Disciple - Introduction
NASB9522 “You will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved.
Following this, Jesus begins to tell the apostle’s what it would mean to be His disciple. He did this by describing the characteristics that they would need to face the persecution that is coming. But look again at the last part of that verse… “the one who has endured [the persecution] to the end will be saved.”In this case, we can certainly assert that the hatred is because of the name of Christ. It is because we bear the name Christian that we will be hated. It is because we proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the message that Christ is God’s Son, who came to earth and died bearing our sin upon the cross, that we might join Him at the end and be with God eternally in heaven and claim this earth as our inheritance from God, Himself...It is THIS message that condemns us to persecution.Jesus speaks frankly when He says that it is only endurance in the face of persecution that will result in salvation… but the question here is “Salvation from what?” Fires of Hell - I don’t think so, since we see other evidence of the assurance of our salvation. This is not something that we can lose to be given over to the fires of Hell and eternal separation from Father God and our Savior Jesus Christ.Preservation of Life - Again we cannot draw this assumption, since we have certainly seen those who have been persecuted give their lives as martyred saints. We cannot expect this form of salvation either.Further Persecution - I believe the salvation that Jesus is referring to, is the salvation of joining Him with God in Heaven as we will finally receive the fullest blessing possible.

II. The Marks of a Faithful Disciple

Recientemente regresé a la escuela por primera vez en 25 años. Interrumpí mis estudios hace mucho tiempo para casarme con mi esposa y apoyarla en la escuela para obtener dos maestrías.
In verse 23 of chapter 10, Jesus moves on to discuss a list of characteristics that can be found in the faithful disciple’s life.I wouldn’t say that this list is exhaustive, there are certainly more marks of the true disciple that could be found in other places. However, I would say that this list can be applied to disciples throughout the ages, but possibly more so in our current age than in any other. This is a list of characteristics that the faithful disciple can expect during these times of great persecution.Disciples throughout the ages have been tortured and martyred for proclaiming the Gospel. But that is happening on a much more frequent basis in this age than in any other age.As we have mentioned before, the public confession of our faith in Jesus is certainly evidence of our salvation as we can see in .

But Jesus gives us several good reasons right here in .Unfortunately I’m not going to have time to develop this list further. But we’ll look into each of this in depth in the coming weeks. This will give us all a good opportunity to examine ourselves and see how we can follow Christ better and develop a rich practice of discipleship in our daily lives.In fact, why don’t you just consider this the beginning of a period of self-examination for the New Year… If you’ll look on the back of your handout, I’ve given you this list. As we talk through these, just give yourself a score from one to ten on each of these...
The Sermons of Jesus / Discipleship /

1. Faithful Disciples Suffer for Christ - vv 24-25

Jesus suffered, therefore He warns His disciples that they must be willing to suffer just as He did.
 
NASB9524 “A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his master. 25 “It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they have called the head of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign the members of his household!
Are you truly willing to suffer for our Lord Jesus Christ? Would you be willing to go as far as Christ did?
-----

2. Faithful Disciples Proclaim the Truth - vv 26-27

Introduction
NASB9526 “Therefore do not fear them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. 27 “What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops.
Since that time I enjoyed a long career in the business world before the Lord called me back to ministry and moved us to the valley.
Do you look for opportunities to proclaim the truth?Do you proclaim the truth of Jesus Christ to others?
-----
Desde entonces disfruté de una larga carrera en el mundo de los negocios antes de que el Señor me llamara al ministerio y nos trasladara al valle.

3. Faithful Disciples Fear Only God - v 28

NASB9528 “Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
-----
What I have discovered since going back to school is that school is hard!
What are you afraid of? Does your respect for God overpower your fear of others? Do you fear death?
-----
¡Lo que descubrí desde que regresé a la escuela es que la escuela es difícil!
-----
All the reading and writing, and even the thinking is hard.
Toda la lectura y escritura, e incluso el pensamiento es difícil.
-----

4. Faithful Disciples Trust in God - vv 29-31

I’ve also discovered that I care more now about how well I perform in school than I did back then. It takes a lot of discipline to do well in school.
-----
También descubrí que ahora me importa más lo bien que me desempeño en la escuela que en aquel entonces. Se necesita mucha disciplina para salir bien en la escuela.
-----
Discipleship is the process of learning. The teacher is helping the student to learn a new skill and the student is studying the teacher and attempting to emulate something that the teacher already knows. And then later on, the student becomes the teacher and trains another student to do the same thing one day.
-----
NASB9529 “Are not two sparrows sold for a cent? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. 30 “But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 “So do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows.
El discipulado es el proceso de aprendizaje. El maestro está ayudando al alumno a aprender una nueva habilidad y el alumno está estudiando al maestro e intentando emular algo que el maestro ya sabe. Y luego, más tarde, el estudiante se convierte en el maestro y entrena a otro estudiante para que haga lo mismo un día.
Do you trust God to care for your needs?How much do you worry about your needs?
-----

5. Faithful Disciples Walk the Talk - vv 32-33

As we have said before, discipleship is about learning a discipline, a way of doing something.
NASB9532 “Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven. 33 “But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.
-----
Como hemos dicho antes, el discipulado se trata de aprender una disciplina, una forma de hacer algo.
Do you look for opportunities to talk about Christ with others? Do you live the life of a faithful disciple?

6a. Faithful Disciples Deny Themselves - vv 34-37

-----
[pray]
Father God in heaven, we praise and bless You as our Creator, our Keeper, and our Teacher. We lift Your name on high and thank You for Your Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Father, please forgive us as we fail to be disciples of Jesus Christ. Give us strength of will and the wisdom we require to value You and obey Your word. Help us to serve and bless those that You put in our path each day. May we ever praise and glorify Your Holy Name until we see Your Son coming on the clouds to take us home to be with You. Father please give me clarity of mind, precision of speech, and help me be true to Your Words as I bring Your message to Your people. Amen
I added 6a after your handout was printed...
NASB9534 “Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 “For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; 36 and a man’s enemies will be the members of his household. 37 “He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.
-----
› Father God in heaven, we praise and bless You as our Creator, our Keeper, and our Teacher. We lift Your name on high and thank You for Your Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Father, please forgive us as we fail to be disciples of Jesus Christ. Give us strength of will and the wisdom we require to value You and obey Your word. Help us to serve and bless those that You put in our path each day. May we ever praise and glorify Your Holy Name until we see Your Son coming on the clouds to take us home to be with You. Father please give me clarity of mind, precision of speech, and help me be true to Your Words as I bring Your message to Your people. Amen
Have you ever had to give anything up so that you could represent Christ?

6b. Faithful Disciples Carry the Cross - vv 38-39

Padre Dios en el cielo, te alabamos y bendecimos como nuestro Creador, nuestro Guardián y nuestro Maestro. Elevamos tu nombre en las alturas y te damos gracias por tu Hijo, nuestro Señor y Salvador, Jesucristo. Padre, por favor perdónanos ya que no somos discípulos de Jesucristo. Danos fuerza de voluntad y la sabiduría que necesitamos para valorarte y obedecer tu palabra. Ayúdanos a servir y bendecir a los que pones en nuestro camino cada día. Que podamos alabar y glorificar tu Santo Nombre hasta que veamos a tu Hijo venir en las nubes para llevarnos a casa para estar contigo. Padre, por favor, dame claridad mental, precisión en el habla y ayúdame a ser fiel a tus palabras cuando traigo tu mensaje a tu pueblo. Amén
-----
NASB9538 “And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. 39 “He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it.
Discipleship of course describes a student/teacher relationship, but at its core it is about passion and focus. It involves the mind and intellect. It is more than simple academic engagement. It is something that the student focuses on that he wants to do well. It means that the student works diligently at it. He dwells upon it day and night. He lives it and breathes it. He becomes disciplined because he wants to become good at it.
How do you carry the cross of Jesus Christ?
-----
El discipulado, por supuesto, describe una relación estudiante / maestro, pero en su núcleo se trata de la pasión y el enfoque. Se trata de la mente y el intelecto. Es más que un simple compromiso académico. Es algo en lo que el estudiante se enfoca que quiere hacer bien. Significa que el alumno trabaja diligentemente en ello. Él mora en ello día y noche. Lo vive y lo respira. Se vuelve disciplinado porque quiere ser bueno en eso.

7. Faithful Disciples Bless Others - vv 40-42

NASB9540 “He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me. 41 “He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward. 42 “And whoever in the name of a disciple gives to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water to drink, truly I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.”
-----
Are you able to truly bless others around you?How do you bless others?
We know that Jesus Christ always referred to His students as disciples. They were Disciples of the Way of Jesus Christ.
-----

Conclusion

Sabemos que Jesucristo siempre se refirió a sus alumnos como discípulos. Eran discípulos del camino de Jesucristo.
So how did you do? Are you a disciple of Christ? If you took time to score yourself, then 80 is the highest you could score. Where is it that you need to work in order to be a more faithful disciple of Christ?Of course the very first foundational step is to accept Christ as the master of your life and begin submitting your life to God’s will. Read His word and begin to apply it to your life. Begin to study the life of Christ and try to understand how you can walk in His way.Have you done that? Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? If you haven’t then I would ask you to consider that first.In order to accept Jesus Christ, you just have to pray this prayer:Jesus, I understand that you are God.I believe that you came to earth and died on the cross......so that You could take my sins and give me a way to be forgiven by God. I turn away from my sin, and give myself to God.God, please forgive my sin against you. I ask you to forgive me.Jesus I make you my Lord and I submit my life to you.AmenIf you prayed that prayer for the very first time, then I congratulate you. You are now a disciple of Christ and a part of the family of God.We’ll sing a song in just a few moments. I’ll be here at the front. I’d ask you to come to me and let me know that you prayed the prayer. You may also come if you have decided to unite with this church and make it your church home.
-----
That means that being like Jesus was something they cared about. They spent their time and effort to be more like Him.
-----
Eso significa que ser como Jesús era algo que les importaba. Dedicaron su tiempo y esfuerzo a parecerse más a Él.
-----
We’ll be in today. This chapter is Jesus’ Missionary Discourse for the disciples. We’ll focus on verses 24 and following, but lookup in verse 22. Jesus had just been warning the disciples that they would be facing persecution.
-----
Estaremos en Mateo 10 hoy. Este capítulo es el discurso misionero de Jesús para los discípulos. Nos centraremos en los versículos 24 y siguientes, pero busquemos en el versículo 22. Jesús acababa de advertir a los discípulos que se enfrentarían a la persecución.
-----
He told them...
Matthew 10:22 NASB95
22 “You will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved.
Matt 10:22
-----
El les dijo...
Matthew 10:22 NBLH
22 “Y serán odiados de todos por causa de Mi nombre, pero el que persevere hasta el fin, ése será salvo.
Mat 10:22
-----
Following this, Jesus begins to tell the apostle’s what it would mean to be His disciple. He did this by describing the characteristics that they would need to face the persecution that is coming.
22 “You will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved.
-----
Following this, Jesus begins to tell the apostle’s what it would mean to be His disciple. He did this by describing the characteristics that they would need to face the persecution that is coming. But look again at the last part of that verse… “the one who has endured [the persecution] to the end will be saved.”
Después de esto, Jesús comienza a decirle al apóstol lo que significaría ser su discípulo. Lo hizo describiendo las características que necesitarían para enfrentar la persecución que se avecina.
-----
But look again at the last part of that verse… “the one who has endured [the persecution] to the end will be saved.”
-----
Pero mira de nuevo la última parte de ese verso ... "pero el que persevere hasta el fin, ése será salvo.".
-----
Certainly the hatred is because of the name of Christ. It is because we bear the name Christian that we will be hated.
-----
Ciertamente, el odio se debe al nombre de Cristo. Es porque llevamos el nombre de cristiano que seremos odiados.
-----
You might be saying “What’s this ‘we’ thing? I thought we were talking about Jesus’ disciples.” Well guess what? … That includes you and me if we profess Jesus Christ as our Lord.
-----
Usted podría estar diciendo "¿Qué es esto de" nosotros "? Pensé que estábamos hablando de los discípulos de Jesús ". ¿Adivina qué? ... Eso nos incluye a usted y a mí si profesamos a Jesucristo como nuestro Señor.
-----
We get to participate in the hate and persecution because we call Jesus “Lord.”
-----
Participamos en el odio y la persecución porque llamamos a Jesús "Señor".
-----
Because we proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ...the message that Christ is God’s Son, who came to earth and died bearing our sin upon the cross, that we might join Him at the end and be with God eternally in heaven and claim this earth as our inheritance from God, Himself.
-----
Porque proclamamos el Evangelio de Jesucristo ... el mensaje de que Cristo es el Hijo de Dios, que vino a la tierra y murió llevando nuestro pecado en la cruz, para que podamos unirnos a Él al final y estar con Dios eternamente en el cielo y reclamar esto. la tierra como nuestra herencia de Dios mismo.
-----
Because we bear the name of a Christ, we will be hated.
-----
Como llevamos el nombre de un Cristo, seremos odiados.
En este caso, ciertamente podemos afirmar que el odio se debe al nombre de Cristo. Es porque llevamos el nombre de cristiano que seremos odiados. Es porque proclamamos el Evangelio de Jesucristo, el mensaje de que Cristo es el Hijo de Dios, que vino a la tierra y murió cargando nuestro pecado en la cruz, para poder unirnos a Él al final y estar con Dios eternamente en el cielo y reclamar esto. La tierra como nuestra herencia de Dios mismo ...
-----
It is THIS message that condemns us to persecution.
-----
ESTE es el mensaje que nos condena a la persecución.
-----
There in verse 22 Jesus said “the one who has endured to the end who will be saved.”
Matthew 10:22 NASB95
22 “You will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved.
-----
Matthew 10:22 NASB95
22 “You will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved.
-----

Jesus speaks frankly when He says that it is only endurance in the face of persecution that will result in salvation… but the question here is “Salvation from what?”

-----
Allí, en el versículo 22, Jesús dijo: "pero el que persevere hasta el fin, ése será salvo.”
Jesús habla con franqueza cuando dice que solo la perseverancia frente a la persecución dará como resultado la salvación ... pero la pregunta aquí es "¿Salvación de qué?"
-----
Fires of Hell? - I don’t think so, since we see other evidence of the assurance of our salvation. This is not something that we can lose to be given over to the fires of Hell and eternal separation from Father God and our Savior Jesus Christ.
-----
Incendios del infierno?: no lo creo, ya que vemos otra evidencia de la seguridad de nuestra salvación. Esto no es algo que podamos perder para ser entregados a los fuegos del infierno y la separación eterna del Padre Dios y nuestro Salvador Jesucristo.
-----
Preservation of Life? - Again we cannot draw this assumption, since we have certainly seen those who have been persecuted give their lives as martyred saints. We cannot expect this form of salvation either.
-----
• Preservation of Life - Again we cannot draw this assumption, since we have certainly seen those who have been persecuted give their lives as martyred saints. We cannot expect this form of salvation either.
Preservación de la vida? una vez más, no podemos hacer esta suposición, ya que ciertamente hemos visto a los perseguidos entregar sus vidas como santos martirizados. Tampoco podemos esperar esta forma de salvación.
-----
Further Persecution? - I believe the salvation that Jesus is referring to, is the salvation of joining Him with God in Heaven as we will finally receive the fullest blessing possible.
-----
Persecución adicional? creo que la salvación a la que se refiere Jesús, es la salvación de unirnos a Él con Dios en el Cielo, ya que finalmente recibiremos la mayor bendición posible.

II. The Marks of a Faithful Disciple
In verse 23 of chapter 10, Jesus moves on to discuss a list of characteristics that can be found in the faithful disciple’s life.
-----
En el versículo 23 del capítulo 10, Jesús continúa discutiendo una lista de características que se pueden encontrar en la vida del discípulo fiel.
-----
While this list isn’t exhaustive, it can be applied to disciples throughout the ages, but possibly more so in our current age than in any other. This is a list of characteristics that the faithful disciple can expect during these times of great persecution.
-----
Si bien esta lista no es exhaustiva, se puede aplicar a los discípulos a lo largo de los siglos, pero posiblemente más en nuestra era actual que en cualquier otra. Esta es una lista de características que el discípulo fiel puede esperar durante estos tiempos de gran persecución.

Disciples throughout the ages have been tortured and martyred for proclaiming the Gospel. But that is happening on a much more frequent basis in this age than in any other age.

In fact, why don’t you just consider this the beginning of a period of self-examination… As we talk through these, just give yourself a score from one to ten on each of these...

22 “You will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved. 23 “But whenever they persecute you in one city, flee to the next; for truly I say to you, you will not finish going through the cities of Israel until the Son of Man comes. 24 “A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his master. 25 “It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they have called the head of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign the members of his household! 26 “Therefore do not fear them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. 27 “What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops. 28 “Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 “Are not two sparrows sold for a cent? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. 30 “But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 “So do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows. 32 “Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven. 33 “But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 10:32–33 NASB95
32 “Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven. 33 “But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.
