    What does a Disciple look like?

    What does a Disciple look like? What is the image of a Disciple? This is what we asked Sunday in worship. A Disciple is a saved individual who is a follower of Christ. Discipleship is the process whereby a Disciple becomes more and more like Christ.

    So what are you doing to become more and more like Christ? I just put up a blog post that asks this question. Go on my blog page - http://raymcd.blogspot.com/ - and leave a comment. This week I will take some of your suggestions and elaborate on them in my Daily Messages. That’s right. You get to help me write my DM. What is God’s goal for your life as a Disciple? Here is a Scripture that speaks to that question.

    2 Corinthians 5:17-21 – 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. 21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
