What Is Discipleship?

We read in the Bible that Jesus was a Rabbi. Disciples had to leave their homes and live together with the Rabbi. They followed Jesus wherever he went for three years. When Jesus was crucified, they had to wait until they received the Holy Spirit before they were able to do as Jesus did.  Discipleship was an apprenticeship in the Old Testament, which was formed by 

·       Being with Jesus: being in union with God

·       Following Jesus: learning about Jesus’ teaching 

·       Living like Jesus: serving others
