Demonstration
John 13:13-15, Luke 18:18-30
Another component of making disciples is demonstration. That means we must demonstrate what it is to be a disciple. We need to live discipleship. As we spend time and build relationships with those who have yet to come to know Jesus’ saving love and grace, we need to live Christ’s example of discipleship before them. As they spend time with us we can demonstrate what it means to be a disciple and they can learn how to be a disciple.
Demonstration is an important part of disciple making. Think for a moment. How do we learn to do most things? We learn by having someone else show us how to do it. To be quite honest, that is the entire principle of teaching: showing people how to do that which they don’t know how to do. That is the way we can make disciples of Jesus. We disciple them into the ways of Jesus. We demonstrate for them how to be a disciple. That is what we are going to consider this week.
