does not know Christ.
Jesus’ way of discipling people
About life, non-classroom type , real-life experience
incorporated lesson
The Pharisees only uses a classroom-type discipleship
and their students did not see them how they
live everyday.
Jesus was involved in the Disciples life everyday life.
Jesus was involved in their family life and He taught
them the value of family life.
Jesus was involved in their daily work jobs, and taught
them the value of work.
The difference of Jesus and Pharisees
Jesus’ way of discipleship is to show people how to
follow God in all areas of life, family, work, and
ministry.
Unlike the Pharisees who only taught theoretical
knowledge in classroom and did not disciple people

power of God.
