Introduction
Introduction
Making disciples should be our number one priority as a spiritual leader
discipleship is a lost art of identifying and mentoring potentially deep people
deep meaning those people whose lives are organized around Jesus
most of Jesus public ministry was invested in a small number of men and women
who under his mentor-ship morphed into deep people and set into motion a movement that continues to this day
mentoring was Jesus at his best his sweet spot
the 12 disciples Jesus picked were traversed in their personalities, background, and expectations.
So how did Jesus deepen these men?
Jesus used three methods that were common to the Jewish rabbis of his day:
emulation,
information, and
examination
This morning we will examine these three methods
The topic of our teaching this morning is
Jesus' Model of Discipleship
Jesus' Model of Discipleship
Emulation:
Emulation:
Disciples desire to be flawless copies of their Rabbi
what did he think? How did he talk? How did he eat?
They believe that the Rabbi was the incarnation of the Torah
They wanted others to see the example of the Rabbi in them (We should want others to see the example of Jesus in us)
10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,
Information:
Information:
Often, rabbis taught away from the Temple
out on the roads, the fields, the marketplace, and the Lakeshore.
Everything in ordinary life became an illustration of their rabbis teaching (like a modern-day monk)
Almost everything was taught using the stories or parables designed to make a point and challenge the disciples mind
rabbis were unafraid to leave conclusions up in the air
even Jesus tells the stories with no obvious application, as if to say "go figure"
parable — a short moral story with a symbolic meaning.
to tell parables — verb. to tell a short moral story with symbolic meaning.
6 “Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.
Examination:
Examination:
Rabbis provided times of testing
think of Jesus ministry: the storm, the feeding of the 5000, the betrayal in the garden (all times of testing)
you can hear Jesus saying "Where is your faith?" When the storm is quieted. Give them something to eat he demands pointing to the crowd, you all going to forsake me he predicts.
When the rabbi decided the contract been fulfilled, he discharged his disciples.
Jesus said get out into the world and replicate yourselves by teaching what I taught you
after saying these things, he left his disciples. His teaching now buried in their minds.
His spirit working in their hearts they were finally on their way to becoming deep people
Jesus is an incredible producer of deep people
how can we follow Jesus example? Next week I will give you three ways to do just that.
Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your Personal Savior?

16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
As we bow our heads:
Repeat after me:
1. Lord I believe that Jesus is the son of God, and that He died On the cross for my sins and His resurrection from the dead gives me eternal life. I asked forgiveness of my sins, and I Except Jesus as my Lord and Savior. In his name I Pray, amen.
