Characteristics of Jesus-Followers

A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his lord;It is enough for the disciple that he becomes like his teacher, and the servant like his lord.

Matt 10.24-25


1. Becoming Becoming like the Teacher It is enough that…!

Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them,"If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him,saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish.’Or what king, going out to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace.So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.

(Luke 14:25-33)

As he was saying these things, many believed in him.So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, "If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples,and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”They answered him, "We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that you say, 'You will become free'?”Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin…So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

(John 8:30-36)
