I was driving by a church the other day, and the title of the sermon for that week was “How to Tell if You’re a Disciple.” I’m not sure how the sermon went, but I have devised my own quiz so that you, too, can tell if you are a Disciple.
1. Is your name one of the following: Andrew, James, John, Judas, Bartholomew, Simon, Thomas,
Matthew,Peter, Jude or Phillip?
2. Are you a former fisherman?
3. Are you a former tax collector?
4. Have you sold all of your belongings and given the money to the poor?
5. Do you walk everywhere you go?
6. Do you have a close circle of 11 friends?
7. Do you sometimes speak in a foreign tongue that you didn’t know you could speak?
8. Do you have a friend that can control the weather?
9. Do you have a friend that calls himself the Son of God?
10. Have you ever walked on water, realized what you were doing and then sunk?
Here’s how to score yourself:
Yes to 1-3 questions: Discipleship doubtful. You may now get your money back from the poor.
Yes to 4-6 questions: You are well on the road to being a Disciple. Watch out for people that want you to sell out your best friend for 30 pieces of silver
Yes to 7-10 questions: You, my friend, are the REAL DEAL. Look out for the flaming tongues, they may descend at any moment.
