DISCIPLE

DISCIPLE

Jesus called for us to Make Disciples (Matthew 28:18-20). As Disciples, we should expect that the world will persecute us (Luke 21:15-19). When the Apostle Peter was facing death by crucifixion, he was hung upside down because he was sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Let this shirt be a reminder of how the world penalized followers of Jesus, and how we should continue to follow Him in spite of worldly consequences. 

JOHN 21:15-19

15 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?”

“Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”

16 Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”

He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.”

17 The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”

Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Feed my sheep. 18 Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” 19 Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, “Follow me!”
