    Discipleship

    Uploaded by

    Zarah Jane Lim
    This document discusses the progression of discipleship with Jesus from the beginning of a relationship to intensifying realities, requirements, and rewards. It notes that discipleship is not easy, comfortable, or cheap as it requires discipline, carrying one's cross, and counting the cost. However, there is reassurance in knowing Jesus is always present and believers have nothing to fear. The reward of discipleship is direction from Jesus, spiritual nourishment, and an eternal destination with God. The reflection encourages taking discipleship to the next level by enduring as both a noun and verb follower of Christ.
