Discipleship The Master of Discipleship

God beckons believers everywhere tobecome heralds of His matches grace,ambassadors who communicates thisdivine redemption to those enslaved

by Satan, calling them to follow,

worship, and praise their Maker.Christs disciple -making must becomethe model that believers follow in

answering the Great Commission.


5/26


In the end, following Jesus vastlyexceeds the limiting view that

discipleship equals methods forcorrecting aberrant behaviors andhabits, however important these

changes are.


6/26


A comprehensive understanding ofdiscipleship is incomplete until it

incorporates a passionate desire tofollow Jesus and, as a supernaturalresult, a passionate desire to lead

others to Christ as well.

The Master of Discipleship Steps to Christ 78, 79

No sooner does one come to Christthan there is born in his heart a

desire to make known to others whata precious friend he has found in

Jesus; the saving and sanctifying truth

cannot be shut up in his heart.

The Master of Discipleship Steps to Christ 78, 79

If we are clothed with therighteousness of Christ and are filledwith the joy of His indwelling Spirit,

we shall not be able to hold ourpeace. If we have tasted and seen

that the Lord is good we shall havesomething to tell. There will be an intensity of desire to

follow in the path that Jesus trod.

Disciples and

Scripture

Disciples and Scripture Key Text

John 5:39

Search the scriptures; for in them

ye think ye have eternal life: andthey are they which testify of me.


13/26

Disciples and Scripture Initial Words

Explicitly and implicitly Jesusincorporated Scripture into Hisdisciple-making methodology.

The ultimate treasure quest wasrooted in the prophetic writings,

which pointed to Him. All this meansis that all our disciple-makingendeavors must be about Jesus and

that which He has done for us.


14/26

Disciples and Scripture Quick Look

1. Jesus and the Scripture(Luke 6:16-21)

2. Scripture in Public Proclamation(Matthew 5:17-19)

3. Scripture in Personal Ministry(Luke 24:27, 32)


15/26

Disciples and Scripture 1. Jesus and the Scripture

Luke 4:16-21 NKJVSo He came to Nazareth. And as

His custom was, He went to theSynagogue on the Sabbath day, andstood up to read. Then He closed

the bookand sat down. And He began to say to them,Today this Scripture is fulfilled in

your hearing.


16/26

1. Jesus and the ScriptureKnowledge of Scripture

The narrative of Christs wildernesstemptations shows that, by quoting

Scripture, Jesus rebuffed everysatanic challenge and invitation.

This clearly indicates that Christ hadcommitted substantial portions of

Scripture to memory.


17/26

1. Jesus and the ScriptureKnowledge of Scripture

Jesus recognizes that Scripturepoints to Him. During the synagoguevisit recorded in Luke 4:16 30, Jesusquotes Isaiah and then declares that

this text points to Himself.

Jesus understood that He fulfilledMessianic prophecy. He used the

Bible to point others to Him, as well.


18/26

1. Jesus and the ScriptureThe Authority of Scripture

Whenever Christ debated with thereligious authorities, He relied not onabstract philosophy, but on the

teachings of Scripture.When determining right from wrong,

Jesus based His argument on ascriptural bedrock. When considering

practical matters, Jesus referred

listeners to divine revelation.


19/26

Disciples and Scripture 2. Scripture in Public Proclamation

Matthew 5:17-19 NKJV Do not think that I came to

destroy the Law or the Prophets.I did not come to destroy but to

fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, tillheaven and earth pass away,

one jot or one tittle will by no meanspass from the law till all is fulfilled.


20/26

2. Scripture in Public ProclamationProminent Role

Scripture assumed a prominent rolein Christs public proclamations.

Direct quotations and scripturalallusions filled His sermons and

public discourse .


21/26


The ordinary Israelites relationshipwith Scripture was apparently highlylegalistic. They looked to Scripture for

regulations and ethical guidance.Upright behavior was considered the

payment for eternal bliss.Jesus overturned their legalism and

substituted a heart-based religion for

a system of external controls.


22/26


Christ-centered religion is rooted ina heart transformation that leads toethical behavior. With Jesus as the

internally controlling force,behavioral standards were not

lowered but elevated.All one has to do is read the Sermon

on the Mount to see just how

elevated His moral standards were.


23/26

Disciples and Scripture 3. Scripture in Personal Ministry

Luke 24:27, 32 NKJV And beginning at Moses and all the

Prophets, He expounded to them inall the Scriptures the thingsconcerning Himself.

And they said to one another, Didnot our heart burn withinwhile He

opened the Scriptures to us?

3. Scripture in Personal MinistryCall to Discipleship

Repeatedly, Christ quotes Scripturein conjunction with His calls todiscipleship. This clearly implies that

Jesus authority and credibilityrested on Scripture, not merely on

personal charisma.This is seen in the ways in whichJesus used the Scriptures to the two

disciples on the road to Emmaus. C ll i i l hi

Calls to DiscipleshipThe Desire of Ages 796-799

Had He first made Himself knownto them, their hearts would havebeen satisfied. In the fullness oftheir joy they would have hungeredfor nothing more. But it was

necessary for them to understandthe witness borne to Him by thetypes and prophecies. Upon these

their faith must be established.

Disciples and Scripture Final Words

Jesus never did question theauthority, veracity, or authenticity ofa single Bible text. Christs earliestfollowers sought guidance fromScripture concerning the churchsmission, its everyday practices, andits spiritual discipline. How foolishwould it be then for us to have any
