“You see, discipleship is not internship. Why does a person intern? To get a foot in the door, to get experience, to get leveled up. If you intern, you double your odds of getting a job and that job will pay more. But discipleship isn’t about my greatness. It’s encapsulated by what John the Baptist so famously said: “He must increase, I must decrease.”
So, as we walk through these passages, we want to recognize those things that kept dogging the disciples tend to dog us today. And we want to once again answer the call to discipleship. To not only do what God asks, but to think how He thinks. Which will transform our hearts and the things we ask for and how we relate to others only for the better! Because we will be in proper position, following our leader, not falling behind, not motivated by selfishness, but service to the King.”
