John - Day 3: The Disciple Maker

Looking in the Bible for a definition of the word “Christian” is really not that helpful. But, you know what’s interesting? Although the word Christian is only used 3 times in the Bible, the word “Disciple” is used more than 250 times!

Read John 1:35-51

Q: When you think of a “Christian,” what comes to mind? Describe him/
her.

Q: What do you think a disciple is/does?

Q: How did these men respond to the calling of Jesus? How might you have responded to Jesus calling you?

Q: When you look at the lives of the disciples, how would you say their choice to be a disciple was different than a modern-day internship? What level of sacrifice did they have to give?

Q: Being a disciple of Christ while He lived on the earth was a full-time thing. Do you think this calling has changed almost 2000 years later? If so, how?

Q: A disciple of Christ is called to live all-in! What hesitation or reserva- tions might this bring? Why is it difficult to commit to being all-in?
