God has opened my eyes to many truths in Derek's book "Discipleship by Grace" that I was either unaware of at first or confused about regarding the fact that our lives as Christians are the sole result of the might Grace of God in our lives and nothing else. When I bought this book I couldn't put it down it was that compelling. These are the conditions of discipleship. It is easy to see what discipleship meant for the early Christians.

We live in different days. What does it mean practically for us to-day? It means precisely the same now as then. The only difference is one of surface details. It means saying no to our own wills as much as ever. It means the cross - disallowance by the world - as much as ever. The world disallowed them by cross or sword, by wild beast or flame; it may disallow us by silent contempt, a well-timed snub, or social ostracism.

The thing is the same; but in their case an acute attack, short, sharp, and all was over; in ours, chronic, not severe, but lingering and protracted. It means walking in the spirit of self-judgment, and separation from the world, even in its religious forms. It means giving up many things lawful in themselves for the sake of His name. It looks then as if the true disciple stands to lose a good deal in this world.

What does he gain? He gains "manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting" Luke The profit will not be of the nature that appeals to the man of the world, who estimates chiefly by the amount of his balance at the bank. It is more real than that.

Here are words which indicate its character: Companionship with Christ; honour from the Father. Who can estimate the gain of those two things? A glimpse of them was granted to the three disciples, when, having been plainly told what discipleship would involve, they witnessed the transfiguration Luke 9 - when they were "with Him in the holy mount" 2 Peter 1: Small wonder, then, that Paul - who stood in the front rank of disciples and suffered the loss of all things for Christ - when he fixed the eye of faith on eternal things dismissed the loss side of the discipleship account as "our light affliction," and hailed the profit side as "a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory" 2 Cor.

There is a very distinct difference. We read, "He called to Him His disciples: The word "disciple" means "one taught" or "trained.

Theirs was a peculiar place, therefore, of authority and service. Moreover, the apostles had to do with the foundations of the Church Eph. The necessary power is not to be found within ourselves, nor can it be worked up by religious exercises. It is in God alone. It reaches us, however, in a very simple way.

Way of Discipleship

Chalmers it was who spoke of "the expulsive power of a new affection. That which starts it sustains it. They are a perfect manual of discipleship. You will find that love is the spring of everything. The Comforter, the Holy Spirit, is the power, and obedience, the keeping and the doing of Christ's commandments, is the pathway into which the disciple's feet are led. You will need wisdom and discretion. Therefore you must give the Scriptures their proper place. The will of our Master and Lord is therein expressed; our business as disciples is to search out that will in dependence on the Holy Spirit's teaching.

The Scriptures must therefore be to us the Word of God, and we must make them our careful study. You must maintain a spirit of dependence upon God. Therefore prayer is necessary. The disciple must needs ever cultivate the prayerful spirit. You must ever seek the pathway of obedience. As disciples our great business is to obey rather than to do the greatest of exploits.

Prince Rupert, of historic fame, performed great exploits in the service of Charles the First. But his exploits in large measure contributed to the smashing defeat which Charles suffered at the hand of Cromwell's Ironsides at Naseby.
