This man truly blew me away as he spoke about his view on discipleship. I totally agree with his view. He was very big on the fact that as you disciple people you should do it in small groups over common interests. He is big on building relationships and friendships without extra motives, but that through your life they will be able to see Christ and his light in your life. So often we build friendships to lead people to Christ, but his take is that we should just build friendships and Christ will deal with the rest. We shouldn’t be getting to know people strictly so that we can share Christ with them, but because we care about them, and in that overflow of caring we will be able to share the love of God with them.
On another note as he openly shared with us about his current situation you could tell that he was a true disciple and a truly devoted follower of Christ. Even as he sat there and he told us about the hard times of life and how they can be gut wrenchingly tough he was still able to smile and talk about the prize awaiting him in heaven. That in and of itself was a true example of his beautiful and wonderful discipled relationship with Christ.
