True discipleship
John 6: 61-66
“Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, “Does this offend you? 62 Then what if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before! 63 The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life. 64 Yet there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him. 65 He went on to say, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled them.” 66 From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him.”
Discipleship:
- True discipleship isn’t easily offended nor grumbles when hearing things that are counter cultural, v61
- True discipleship doesn’t stumble over the small issues and is ready to grasp the big revelations, v62
- True discipleship isn’t following for gain, v63 (they wanted more bread)
- True discipleship believes, v64
- True discipleship is found in the work of the Father, v65
- True discipleship doesn’t turn back, v66
