    He gave Himself on the cross so that you would not have to face God’s wrath on account of your sins. Jesus calls you to turn from your selfishness and sin and to follow Him.

    Understanding the relationship of rabbi to disciple – and what discipleship entailed – will help us to better understand Jesus’ teachings because they help us better understand the teacher (Jesus) and His most frequent audience (the disciples).

    There are many who follow Jesus, but only a few who genuinely seek to live as His disciples. Let’s understand who a true disciple is, and what Jesus expects of those who are His disciples.

    We read in Matthew 4:25, “Large crowds followed him. They came from Galilee, the Ten Cities, Jerusalem, Judea, and from across the Jordan River.” (GW) Great multitudes of people followed after Jesus while He was here on earth, and there were several reasons why they did so.
