When most people hear the word disciple they immediately think of the twelve disciples of Jesus, the men who were chosen by Christ Himself and were appointed to follow Him and bear fruit (John 15:16). However, these twelve men are certainly not the only disciples of Jesus. For example, in John 6:60-66, “many of His disciples” had a difficult time with His teaching about the bread of life (v.61), and “as a result of this many of His disciples withdrew and were not walking with Him anymore” (v.66). Although the term disciple is used many times in the New Testament to refer to the twelve, in the most general sense, a disciple is a follower or student of a teacher. In this respect, all Christians are disciples of Jesus Christ!
