A disciple has to follow closely to what Jesus said & the
rest of the Bible, just like the apostles in 1st century AD. Paul
exhort Timothy to follow what he did & to be good eg to all.
Nevertheless, Jesus did say that Christians have to carry their
crosses, not look back, & even abandoning family &
property, count the cost of following him etc. It's all in the
gospels. But who really could-not even Peter or John in their own
strength when Christ was crucified? However, when Peter, John &
all the rest knew He is alive, they were fired up again &
eventually were martyred or exiled in John's case. So we need the
Holy Spirit's help bcos we can never do it in our own strength. God
bless u!
NB. This is only my personal interpretation, so dont take as golden
rule, as there could be other interpretations. Also, too many
things to elaborate. Pls go to a good church to listen more. Cannot
learn in one night.
