The Disciple of God - Discipleship, #1

The word disciple in Greek is transliterated mathetes (literally, the learning one) and is derived from the verb manthano which means "to learn". It means "one who learns instruction from another?, or a disciple is likened to an apprentice who learns from his master tradesman. Thus, a disciple is a person that not only gains knowledge from the teacher but also acts upon it. A disciple therefore follows and a disciple learns from the Teacher.
The disciple never replaces the one true Teacher, or takes the role of the teacher. Jesus remains our Teacher and our Lord. This study series into discipleship explores what it really means to be a disciple, within the context of the Great Commission of Matthew 28.
