February 26 Devotion

What is a disciple? What makes us disciples of Christ? Do others see us as disciples of Christ? What does a disciple look like? What should one look like? I think a disciple of Christ is someone who trusts him with their life. A disciple is a follower of Jesus. A disciple of Christ studies what he teaches us. Trying to do what Jesus is telling us to do with our lives.

I know that I am nowhere near where I need to be. I try to strive daily on being more Christlike. And I fail miserably. I know that I will never be where I need to be. But that’s the motivation that pushes me each day. If there ever comes a point in my life that I think I have achieved being Christlike, then I really will need to review my beliefs. With Jesus as our teacher, we should try to act more like him each day. Each day we should be building, molding, our lives to be like him.

Something else about being a disciple that we should realize. We should want others to know more about Jesus. We should want others to learn what he’s teaching. As we grow in our faith, we should want others to grow in their faith as well. We should want those that don’t know him, to come to know him. We should want their lives to be transformed. So today, let’s strive to be better disciples. Let’s strive to show others how to be better disciples. Let’s be thankful for what God has given us already. And let’s be thankful for what he’s going to give us. Let’s ask God to bring people into our lives that need to know him. Let’s truly strive to be more like him. I know that life can sometimes make this difficult. But, I also know that it’s doable with Jesus in our lives.
