The Call And Demands Of Discipleship

Overzicht

Discipleship in Christianity is a fundamental concept that entails a deep commitment to following and emulating the teachings of Jesus Christ. This course material will delve into the theme of 'The Call And Demands Of Discipleship' as portrayed in the Synoptic Gospels, particularly focusing on key passages such as Matthew 6: 12, 14-15 and 18:21-35.

Understanding the concept of discipleship in the context of Christianity is crucial for believers as it entails more than just being a mere follower of Jesus. Discipleship involves complete devotion, submission, and a willingness to learn and grow in faith through the example set by Jesus.

The Synoptic Gospels present a vivid picture of the call to discipleship as Jesus invites individuals to leave behind their former ways of life and follow Him. Through examining these Gospel accounts, students will gain insights into the challenges and blessings that come with answering the call to discipleship.

Furthermore, exploring the demands placed on disciples in following Jesus is essential for understanding the sacrifices and commitments required in the Christian walk. Just as Jesus challenged His disciples to take up their cross daily, believers are called to prioritize their relationship with God above all else.

Throughout this course material, students will analyze key biblical passages such as the parable of the unmerciful servant in Matthew 18:21-35, which highlights the importance of forgiveness and love in the life of a disciple. By dissecting these passages, learners will gain a deeper understanding of the moral and ethical expectations placed on followers of Christ.

Finally, reflecting on the implications of discipleship for Christian living will prompt individuals to consider how their faith should impact every aspect of their lives. As disciples of Jesus, believers are called to be salt and light in the world, demonstrating love, compassion, and righteousness in all their interactions.

This course material will serve as a comprehensive guide for students seeking to deepen their understanding of discipleship in Christianity, equipping them to not only answer the call of Jesus but also to live out the demands of discipleship in a world that is in desperate need of God's grace and truth.
