-JC desires discipleship
-JC taught disciples evangelism 1st -disc. presents opportunity and balance -------------- -Christ desires for believers to enter into discipleship and stay with it - first thing Christ taught his disciples was evangelism (discipleship and evang. are inseperable) - discipleship presents opportunity and balance in evangelism |
