Discipleship: Following Jesus Daily
Explore what it means to follow Jesus daily by laying down your will and taking up your cross as His true disciple.
đź“– Introduction
Discipleship is at the heart of the Christian journey. To follow Jesus daily means more than belief—it means a transformational commitment to lay down our own will, take up our cross, and walk in His footsteps. This path is both challenging and rewarding, inviting us to surrender our desires, embrace sacrifice, and reflect Christ’s love and obedience in every aspect of life.
Jesus called His disciples to surrender everything—comfort, control, and even personal ambitions—for the sake of the Kingdom. This call involves a daily decision, not just a one-time commitment. Each day presents new opportunities to choose Jesus over the world, to serve others, and to cultivate a heart aligned with God's purpose. It’s a call to die to self and live for Him.
Through this study, we will explore key biblical truths that show what it truly means to live as Jesus’ disciple. We’ll consider what it looks like to deny ourselves, how to bear our cross with perseverance, and the power of following Christ wholeheartedly. This journey will help us understand that discipleship is a lifestyle—not a label—and it requires intentional, daily surrender.
As we walk through each day, may your heart be open to the Spirit’s leading. May you be encouraged to examine your commitment, deepen your faith, and grow in love and obedience. Remember, following Jesus is a journey that transforms us into His likeness, shaping our character, purpose, and destiny. Let us embark on this seven-day journey together, embracing what it means to be true disciples of Jesus Christ.
