Discipling the OrdinaryKey Text

Mark 1:16-18Now as he walked by the sea of

Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his

brother casting a net into the sea: forthey were fishers. And Jesus said unto

them, Come ye after me, and I willmake you to become fishers of men.And straightway they forsook their

nets, and followed him.

Discipling the OrdinaryInitial Words

In light of the Cross, ethnic, political,economic, and social barriers

crumble. Sometimes, in our soul

winning, we forget that truth, and weseek to win those honorable or

great in the eyes of the world.Not so with Jesus. The ordinarypeople generally thronged and

embraced Him.

1. Ordinary Disciple MakerHumble Beginnings

Right from the startfrom His birthin a stable to the offerings given byHis parentsJesus is portrayed as

having assumed His humanity in thehome of poor and ordinary

people.Archaeological evidence seems toindicate that Nazareth, where Jesus

spent His childhood, was a relatively

1. Ordinary Disciple MakerHumble Beginnings

He was familiar with poverty,self-denial, and privation. This

experience was a safeguard to Him.

In His industrious life there were noidle moments to invite temptation.

No aimless hours opened the wayfor corrupting associations. So far aspossible, He closed the door to the

tempter.The Desire of Ages 72.

Discipling the Ordinary2. Transforming the Ordinary

Matthew 15:32 NKJVNow Jesus called His disciples to

Himself and said, I have compassion

on the multitude, because they havenow continued to be with Me three

days and have nothing to eat.And I do not want to send themaway hungry, lest they faint on

the way.

2. Transforming the OrdinaryExtraordinary Witness

Jesus sought people who wereconsidered to be ordinary because,lacking self-sufficiency, they were

prepared to trust God completely.People who are enamored by theirtalents, abilities, and accomplish-

ments cannot often sense their needof something greater than them-

selves. What a horrible deception!

2. Transforming the OrdinaryExtraordinary Witness

Many among Christs contemporariespossessed superior academic training,

social position, or personal wealth.

Their names have long been forgotten.Remembered are ordinary people

farmers, fishermen, carpenters,shepherds, potters, housewives,servantswho were transformed into

extraordinary witnesses for Christ.

2. Transforming the OrdinaryFlawed Fisherman

In the New Testament, Peter standsout as one of the most influential ofall the disciples. In fact, he ended up

being one of the most influentialpeople in all human history.

Talk about changing the ordinaryinto the extraordinary!

2. Transforming the OrdinaryFlawed Fisherman

Though many points emerge fromthe story of Peter, the moment hefirst caught a glimpse of who Jesus

was, he was aware of his own faultsand admitted them.

Hence, through patience andforbearance, Jesus was able to turn

Peters flawed character into someone

who helped to change history.

Luke 12:6, 7 NKJV

Are not five sparrows sold for two

copper coins? And no one of them isforgotten of God. But the very hairsof your head re all numbered.

Do not fear therefore: you are of

more value than many sparrows.

3. Real Worth of the OrdinaryHeavenly Evaluation

With Christ no class distinctionsexisted; no one was ordinary;

everyone was an exception.

Modern disciple-makers mustlikewise carefully guard against

giving the impression that theyregard some more highly than they

do others in terms of outreach.

3. Real Worth of the OrdinaryHeavenly Evaluation

The Cross proves the infinite worthof every human being, regardless of

his or her status in life

a status that is often nothing morethan a human concoction based on

concepts and attributes that aremeaningless in heaven, or evencontrary to the very principles of

heaven itself.

3. Real Worth of the OrdinaryA Classless Society

Perhaps the most socially attractivefeature of primitive Christianity was

the absence of class distinctions.

Dividing walls had crumbled beneaththe gospels weight. The common

person triumphed through Christ.Christ transformed the ordinary into

the extraordinary.

Carpenters, tax collectors,stonecutters, queens, domestic

servants, priests, Greeks, Romans,

men, women, the wealthy, and thedestitute all became equalswithin

Christs kingdom of grace.In reality, the Christian community

was to be a classless society.

Discipling the OrdinaryFinal Words

In this closing work of the gospelthere is a vast field to be occupied;

and, more than ever before, the work

is to enlist helpers from the commonpeople. Many of these have had

little opportunity for education; butChrist sees in them qualifications thatwill enable them to fulfill His

purpose Education 269 270
