I. Introduction
Last week, Pastor Barry helped us to look at the prime directive, if you will, for the disciples of Christ.
In Matthew 28:18-20, the Lord Jesus commissioned the disciples to “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations.”
But prior to the commission, Jesus told His disciples about what it actually means to be a disciple, especially the kind of attitude and posture that all disciples of Christ must have and the basis for their discipleship.
I thought it necessary to take this step back into the Scriptures so that we can kind a check ourselves as to whether or not we are measuring up to Christ’s own idea of a disciple of His.
To do this, let’s look at a turning point moment in the life and mission of Jesus from John 12.
II.
Jesus wanted the disciples to be clear about his identity and mission.
(vs.
23-25)
A. Jesus’ identity as “Son of Man”
1. used to refer to Himself as coming in glory
2. used to refer to Himself as one who suffers to bring mankind salvation
B. Jesus’ mission was to be glorified as He did the will of His Father.
C. The climax of Jesus’ mission on earth was to die in order to bear fruit for God.
(v.
24-25)
1.
The example of planting wheat (v.
24)
2. His example culminating in his own death and resurrection as a pattern for His disciples.
(v.
25)
i. Loving one’s life will lose it.
ii.
‘Hating’ one’s life in this world will save it eternally.
III.
Disciples of Jesus must be like Jesus.
(v.
26)
A. To serve Jesus is to follow Him.
B. Disciples of Jesus will be glorified and dwell with Him.
C. Disciples of Jesus are honored by the Father.
