It is no secret that we often “wear a mask” when we gather together at church. We may pretend to be someone we aren’t, or maybe even just trying to be polite misrepresent ourselves. We even adopt an entirely different vocabulary when we come together at our church building (using words or phrases that we don’t use anywhere else in our lives). As we are gathered together today, we will take the time to talk about 1 such word that is increasingly unfamiliar in our everyday lives outside of the church: Disciple (or Discipleship). Being a disciple of Jesus means that follow Christ wholly and consistently day after day. When we do that, we will begin to see how being a disciple of Jesus can, in fact, be unique in the wider world around us.
