A young international student visited a secular college campus in Florida, ready to begin medical school. Being an international student, he had to take an English course. Little did he know that a required English course would change his life's purpose. The teacher of this class was committed to discipleship as defined and demonstrated in the Bible. Having permission to use the Bible as a textbook, the teacher taught his students the Word of God. The student did not immediately respond to the things taught, although he excelled in his English studies. He came to the United States with the goal of learning English and medicine. However, he left after learning English, becoming certified as a registered nurse, and following Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Even though it was just an English class, the teacher had used it as a platform for discipleship. The student returned home and gathered his family to tell them what Jesus had done for them. Soon a church was founded in his house and many came to believe in Jesus Christ. The student called the teacher and asked him to come help him share the biblical message of Jesus; the teacher left. Since then, the student has discipled many more and even led others to plant a church in his own village and in a neighboring country. What the teacher had learned, he taught to others, who in turn taught it to others. “What you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust it to faithful men who will also know how to teach it to others. » (New American Standard, 2 Timothy 2:2). This is the heart of discipleship. If you're not willing to lay down your life, if you're not willing to take up your cross, then you can't make disciples. It's one thing to know... middle of paper ... physical discipleship. Be a disciple of Christ by discipling others. Works Cited Adsit, Christopher B.
