Quality Or Quantity
As we continue to think about discipleship, I would like to think about the importance of quality time. When it comes to a discipleship relationship, we need to focus on quality over quantity. What do I mean by this? Jesus spent a large amount of time with crowds of people. If you were to measure the quantity of time He spent doing Gospel ministry, He spent a large quantity with hundreds, even thousands of people. But He only had twelve disciples. The difference is quality–Jesus spent quality time training and teaching the men we know as the twelve disciples. He would regularly pull them aside and have private talks as a group; sometimes He even pulled aside individuals from the disciples to minister to them personally. But the movement that we know today called Christianity did not begin on the shoulders of those whom Christ spent quantity time with, it is founded on those with whom He spent quality time.
