Here's the definition of. I'll give you a disciple is someone who first follows Jesus s a b in Jesus in 3rd participating in the mission of Jesus. Amen.
Then we abide in Jesus and then we participate in the mission of Jesus. This is actually Persian counter where Jesus calls for people to come and meet us beside it. When we can see in this initial opening that we have, Above the call of Jesus. And then people responding. There's an invitation. And then there is a given response.
