Christian Discipleship
Christian Discipleship Discipleship means one who follows or one who learns and this
meaning has not changed over the centuries. The first disciples must

not fully understood and were rejected. This is true for disciples
today aswell. The Bible is the most important reference for a
Christian today. It contains all sorts of stories from the Old
Testament and the New Testament. The New Testament concentrates on the
life of Jesus which is probably more important to Christians than the
Old Testament because Jesus^ death means that everyone has a chance to
have all of their sins forgiven. The book I will be concentrating on is
the gospel of Mark. Mark zoomed in on whom Jesus chose to be his
disciples and what they were like. When people read Mark^s gospel they
realise that you can be a disciple of Jesus no matter who you are.
Jesus said, It is not the healthy who need a doctor but the sick. I
have not come to call the righteous but the sinners (Mark 2:17) Many
people today see this and are inspired. They see that they too can be
forgiven for all of their sins and lead a better life. Being a
disciple today is nearly the same as being a disciple in the time of
Jesus. As a disciple today you still have to have a true belief in God and to follow the word of Jesus. This is also true for disciples 2000
