DISCIPLE

John 15:7-8
“If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.”
Do we really want to learn Jesus? To learn Christ is more intense than just attending church or making a onetime trip to the altar. To learn Jesus, we must become His disciples; one that is a learner, a pupil.
Learning Jesus is an inexhaustible journey; we must have the ability to linger, the ability to abide, to stay on course. Abiding in Jesus causes Him to linger in us, and His lingering in us provides His presence in us; Jesus cannot be all up into us unless we are all up into Him. Therefore, abiding in Jesus is an action feeding an action. Bearing fruit as Disciples of Christ is that our lives reflect the learning we have learned in Christ. When Jesus is present in us and is reflected in our actions, then truly, we are learning Him.
Learning Jesus establishes principles in us that set the standards to our fate in life. Fate is the supposed force or power that predetermines the events in our lives; therefore, principles have everything to do with the outcome facing us. Principle sets the tone to action; principle is the author to action. This is why Jesus calls us to learn Him; learning Jesus is not us asking Jesus into our hearts, it is Jesus asking us into His heart. As we learn Jesus He becomes the principles driving us in all that we face in life.
