As a signpost pointing to Jesus, we also need to have a walk that imitates Jesus. To make that happen, Jesus invites us into a relationship with Him. And that should change how we live and how we play and how we work.
Bill Hull:
- I am to live as though Jesus is living in me. If Jesus were a plumber, what kind of plumber would He be? If He were an attorney, what kind of attorney would He be? If He were an accountant, teacher, business owner, what kind of person would He be?
Robby Gallaty:
- Discipleship has an end goal: to be conformed into the image of Christ—to talk the way he talked, walk the way he walked, and respond the way he responded. It begins with an unshakeable allegiance to Jesus…
To make disciples effectively, we must first recognize that a disciple is one who is pursued by Christ, has been found and called by him, and has made the decision to follow him. As a disciple-maker, all you’re doing is pointing at the One you’re following and saying to those around you, “Come with me; I’m following him.”
We are each to be a signpost pointing to Jesus.
Is your signage clear or is it confusing?
Are you telling the people around you, “Come with me; I’m following Jesus”?
Who in your life has been needing to hear that statement from you?
