i was just wondering y we should try and disciple others?

If it's something that you "should" do, or "have to" do, or even "try" to do....um....


I mean, am I missing the point, or does the fact that Someone died in my place--I mean, stood there, before the magistrate(s), and took it--literally--"like a man", right up to the point of total sacrifice, PLUS, unlike us, had the remedy if He chose to use it, at any time right up to the point of death...


I mean, if I'm having to ask...

...then either I'm misunderstanding what the Gospel is(i.e, *good* news), or...

I don't believe it's really that good...

or, I don't really believe it at all....AND/or...

the immediate, urgent cares of this world have blinded me so successfully that  I fail to see any merit in someone dying for me in the first place at all anyway...which then probably means...

that I don't really believe I'm a sinner after all anyway,  since,

..if Someone dying in my stead means nothing to me...

then it follows that I must not need anyone to die for me?

Which then means I must not be such a bad chap after all...

which then MUST mean I must not be that much of a sinner, after all, which then...

...MUST mean that pursuing any kind of discipleship *regimen* would be merely an exercise in uselessness--I mean--discipling someone, even if it is myself, who isn't a sinner?

I mean, what would be the point?

No,  I mean, if *discipling* myself or others is just something I should do, or have to do...


...then maybe I'm not understanding very well what Jesus did for me...
