I disciple this amazing 8th grader every Sunday night and i just couldn't be happier when i listen to her talk! She said something tonight that left me speechless. She was talking about going to high school next year and hardly knowing anyone there. Most people would have expected that she would be afraid, but no! she told me how excited she is for "more people to hear about how awesome Jesus is"!
what if every time we went somewhere we thought: these are more people I can share Christ with!! think about how different this world would be!
then she was telling me what she remembered from becoming a Christ-follower. she said her knees were shaking with excitement and that night she was trying to sleep but couldn't because she was so happy that her sin slate was 100% clean! while she was recalling these memories, she had such life and joy in her voice; her eyes were sparkling! it was so great to see someone so excited about her salvation! this summer she will have been a Christ-follower for 2 years.
what if we were THIS excited about our salvation every day? think about how different this world would be!
she also told me that the word Christian was only used in the New Testament twice; they were usually called disciples. so she was talking about how excited she is to be a disciple for Christ!
disciple: "a person who is a pupil or an adherent of the doctrines of another; follower"
