Disciple of Christ?
I've often wondered if anyone really paid any attention to that "about me" stuff. I went through several "about me" drafts before I settled on this one:
"disciple of Christ, husband, father, accountant and amateur rod maker"
That says a lot with just a little. I like that. The order of the items is significant. I'm a disciple of Christ first. Everything else in my life thrives under the umbrella of my relationship with Jesus.
So what exactly does that mean? I believe that Jesus is the son of God. That he became flesh and blood like me, died for me, was risen from the dead and has gone to prepare an eternal spiritual home for believers like me.
I'm a Christian. Not because I follow a set of religious rules or attend a certain church. I'm a Christian because I believe in Jesus and I'm committed to following his teachings. I'm not perfect by Jesus standards...never will be. But that will always be my goal in life. I'm thankful that I have a savior that's willing to forgive me.
If you want to know more about Jesus, read through any of the four gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke or John). I'd recommend the book of Mark...because it's shorter than the others.
