A disciple is a "follower." In our culture, the word "follower" means something very different than it did in Jesus' time. When Jesus called people to "follow" him, he was calling them to learn what it meant to die to themselves and live for him. 

 

Disciples of Jesus believe that he is our Lord and Savior; therefore, we intentionally learn from him, increasingly submit to him, and irreversibly become like him.
