A Perfect Disciple Shall Be As His Master.

This list is certainly not complete, but I thought I’d write it to show how being a disciple of Jesus is not just a Sunday activity. Here are ten things that Jesus has taught me that has transformed my thinking.

Jesus teaches me:

The importance of rendering to Caesar what belongs to Caesar. (Matthew 22:15-22).

The permanence of marriage (Mark 10:5-9).

The importance of children (Mark 10:12-16).

The deceitfulness of riches and the world’s troubles (Mark 4:18-19).

The need to take drastic action to avoid things which cause a man to sin (Matthew 5:27-30).

That a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of possessions (Luke 12:15).

That Noah and the Flood was real (Matthew 24:36-39).

That Jonah was in the belly of the fish for three days and three nights (Matthew 12:39-40).

That God really did make Adam and Eve (Mark 10:5-9).

That we should follow him no matter what the future may (or may not) hold (John 21:22)

Those are just ten things the Lord has taught me. What has he taught you?

In a world with much activity, and many choices before you, thanks for taking the time to read this post.

May the Lord bless you today.
