So the first thing to consider is that everyone is a disciple. There's no one who's not a disciple. So the question is not so much are you a disciple, but rather whose disciple are you? And so when you begin to think about the word disciple, it usually has the connotation that there's a master, there's someone who you're following, a teacher. And it's not so much just the taking in of information but the inculcating of a life, the values, the mission of that teacher.
And so when you find yourself a Christian you're a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the master and it's a high high calling. You know, the psalmist captures it well where he says that it is better or I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. That's the calling of a Christian.
