The Withness of Discipleship
There were no discipleship correspondence courses in Messiah's time. They couldn't stay home. They had to go on the road with Him. Because the majority of His lessons weren't things that could be in lesson plans. Some of Messiah's teachings were with words, the rest were lessons of being, doing, seeing or being in His presence. How He was when He was alone with them, when He rose up, went to bed, entered a house, wept, rejoiced, healed and performed miracles, when He was asleep in the boat or when He stayed awake in the garden. As His disciple, you need to read, hear and be a student of His Word. But that's not enough. You have to be with Him. When the Sanhedrin looked at the apostles, they recognized them as having been with Messiah. You have to spend time with Him, learn, behold, see, hear and follow Him. The Sanhedrin saw that the apostles spoke with authority because they were with Yeshua; Jesus. That's the mark of a disciple. You do the same, so others will look at you and say, "This one was with the Messiah."
From Message #548 - The Hupogrammos
Set aside some time today to be with Messiah. Read His words and listen for His voice.
