Did you know that no form of the Greek word disciple appears in the New Testament after the Book of Acts?
Check it out.
Paul never uses it. Nor does Peter, nor do the Epistles of John.
Clearly, we need to take the command of Jesus to make disciples seriously. But, how do you explain the fact that the word never even shows up in the last 22 books of the New Testament?
I believe that if we are going to understand discipling we are going to have to be account for this biblical reality.
Any thoughts? Replies on and off the blog are fine.
