“A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.” —Luke 6:40
“But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him.” —1 Corinthians 6:17
“We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.” —1 John 5:19
Discipleship Is A
Discipleship is a process. It takes time. In fact, we are called to be lifelong disciples of Jesus.
A disciple is not above the teacher
What We Mirror, We
“The crucified life is a life absolutely committed to following after Christ Jesus. To be more like Him. To think like Him. To act like Him. To love like Him. The whole essence of spiritual perfection has everything to do with Jesus Christ. Not with rules and regulations. Not with how we dress or what we do or do not do. We are not to look like each other; rather, we are to look like Christ. We can get all caught up in the nuances of religion and miss the glorious joy of following after Christ. Whatever hinders us in our journey must be dealt a deathblow.” —A.W. Tozer
With Jesus
Our Being With God Is More
Beware of Christian activities instead of Christian being. The reason workers come to stupendous collapses is that their work is the evidence of a heart that evades facing the truth of God for itself—“I have no time for prayer, for Bible study, I must be always at it.” —Oswald Chambers
We must first be with Jesus if we hope to be like Jesus.
Like Jesus

“In a free country like this, you may be almost anything you like except a Christian.” —Charles Spurgeon
Like Jesus
“I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.” —John 13:15
Ref: Philippians 2:6-8
Jesus was on mission. His life was marked by purpose. He followed the father’s leading.
The things Jesus did on this earth, we should be
Jesus personified servant leadership.
