My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples.
--John 15:8
--John 15:8
It would appear that Jesus Christ is interested in His Father's glory. Are we? If so, how shall that glory happen? The answer is both troubling and wonderful. It's troubling because we are going to change, and change puts us out of our "comfort zone." It's going to be wonderful because our lives, to borrow a phrase, are going to "make a difference."
Growth will happen; fruit shall be produced. And disciples will be made. A disciple, simply stated, is a learner. In addition, you may see the word discipline in disciple as well. Pretty clearly, learning doesn't go very well without a modicum of discipline.
Jesus seeks to produce disciples as well as disciples who produce! And His Father is glorified thereby!
