Jesus sent the apostles out on a mission. We are also commissioned as baptized people, to go out and preach the Good News of salvation.
So how are we doing as disciples? Let's see.
How comfortable are you to talk about your faith? Have you ever asked yourself why you have stayed a Christian? Do you find it easy to say you would pray for someone who told you that a relative was sick, or was facing a decision.
If you answered "yes" then you are well on your way to being a good disciple.
If your answer is "no" then it is important to ask yourself "why not."
One good think is it's never too late to ask yourself these questions and remedy the situation.
I know that many of you feel afraid that you don't know enough, but that easy to take care of, especially in this day of easy access to Christian teachings on-line or in books. The Bible is there to be opened and reflected upon.
I know that you're probably thinking that it's easy for me to say, but I had to start somewhere too! I was lucky that my parents talked freely about God and encouraged me to read the Bible.
But I also was brought up with the idea that we never talk about religion and politics! Perhaps that resonates with some of you as well.
But that shouldn't stop us from getting comfortable with the most basic part of ourselves that helps to form all of our decisions whether we realize it or not.
Today, think about one thing you can do that will make you a better disciple.
