A disciple is someone who is with Jesus learning to be like Him. That’s a disciple. Actually, that’s a disciple in any area. A child in third grade learning long division is a disciple of their teacher. They’re with them learning to be like them with respect to a certain discipline. That’s what discipleship is. If I’m a disciple of Jesus, I’m learning from Him how to lead my life in the Kingdom of God as He would lead my life in the kingdom of God if He were I. How would He do that? I’m learning from Him. I’m not learning to lead His life. He did very well with that and that’s done and over with and we don’t need to do that again. What is at issue now is my life. How am I going to lead my life?-Dallas Willard
