Discipling

            Platt is saying that Jesus needs individuals to have a relationship with him and become like him in their thoughts and actions. Jesus did not use programs and conferences to reach the masses, but disciple 12 men to think and act like him. I am not perfect like Jesus was on earth, but I follow his example. I would say that I am more in the position of a disciple right now, where people are teaching me to live like Jesus. I am not following Jesus’ example as effectively in the way of discipling other individuals and I need to make more of an effort to do so.
