As we begin this brand new series of sermons, we have the great privilege to look into a special moment for a select group. These verses are recorded in the moments that Christ intentionally separated Himself and His closest few for some special lessons in discipleship before His departure. These few were given special insight as to the role that they were to play after He returned to His Father in Heaven. In His absence, they were to be the one’s who would carry on the greatest legacy known to man, namely Christianity.

Jesus Christ is indeed alive today, walking in the world in the bodies of those whom He has called and those who have accepted that call. Yet being a disciple of Jesus Christ is more than just “being saved”, it is an ongoing lifelong lesson in being Jesus Christ to the world. It has its high moment’s and has its low moment’s as well. Nevertheless, we have been given an example as well as a great help. The example is Jesus Christ, and the help is the Holy Spirit. In the next few weeks, let us together examine how we measure up to these important lessons of discipleship. In addition, apply what we learn for the cause of our Savior and His Kingdom.
