*Biblical Discipleship*
Kenneth Evans
I.
Introduction
/Icebreaker/Opening
1.
What is a disciple?
You hear so many explanations of what a “disciple” is or what “discipleship” is.
1) μαθητης : a pupil or learner
i.
signifies a close relationship to the master and imitates him; attached in a close way
ii.
Greek Philosophy- adopted a distinct teaching or philosophical outlook of a particular teacher~/master
iii.
Opposed to διδασκαλον, which is straight instruction
2.
In the New Testament, the term, “disciple” seems to be limited to the Gospels and the Book of Acts.
Early Christians in Acts are referred to as disciples; “disciples” not used in the Epistles.
3.
“Disciples” encompasses a wide berth of adherents.
It has been said that the disciples in the New Testament could be divided into two groups, the distant and the near.
But a better model from Dr. J. Dwight Pentecost in his book, “/The Words and Works of Jesus Christ/” is this one:
*1) **Curious – those who were intrigued by Jesus and followed him out of a strong curiosity or need*
*2) **Convinced- those who trusted in Christ and believed in who He was*
*3) **Committed-those who believed and gave up all to follow Him*
* *
How can we apply this knowledge to life?
