Discipleship is a key element in Christianity. Jesus calls all to take up their cross and follow Him. Originally Jesus chose the 12 and the other close followers. All were considered disciples but only the 12 were consider apostles with a special mission to guide the Church. Yet each had a unique discipleship and calling, whether of the 12 or merely a close follower. As Christians today, we also have a unique discipleship and calling. We are called to bear witness but to also utilize our special talents given to us by the Holy Spirit to share the Gospel and build the Mystical Body of Christ.

The article, “How Did Jesus ‘Make Disciples’?” by David Mathis looks closer at the process of discipleship then and today. He states,
“Jesus, the Master, had called them to follow him, and for more than three years, in setting after setting, in private homes and in the midst of great crowds, walking long journeys between towns and enjoying unhurried meals — one conversation at a time, one day at a time — Jesus had discipled them. Christ himself showed them the Christian life, inside and out, in public teaching and private prayer. Now they too were to make disciples.”
