Jesus-shaped spirituality hears Jesus say "believe and repent, " but the call that resonates most closely in the heart of a disciple is "follow me." The command to follow requires that we take a daily journey in the company of other students. It demands that we be lifelong learners and that we commit to constant growth in spiritual maturity. Discipleship is a call to me, but it is a journey of "we. Michael Spencer
About This Quote

When Jesus said, "Follow me" he was referring to discipleship. We are called to be followers of Jesus, not wannabe followers. A follower is one who trusts the Lord enough to follow him into the unknown. A follower is willing to trust that the Lord will lead them into truth even when their mind is clouded with fear, uncertainty, and confusion.

Discipleship is a call to us, but it is a journey of "we." As followers of Jesus, we are called on to be learners. We are called on to allow God to change us so that we may be more like Christ.
