Disciple to Disciple

Being a disciple of Christ is not as complicated as you might think.

Check out this example that one young man shares about a disciple of Christ in his life.

young men — Jack (left) and Braiden (right)

Braiden K., age 12

From the Northern Territory, Australia. Likes to play rugby and avoid crocodiles.

A few years ago, my friend Jack swore a lot. I knew that Jesus and God didn’t want that. I asked him if he could stop swearing around me, and he had enough respect to stop. We’re best friends now.

Now whenever he hears someone swearing around me, he’ll apologize to me and ask them to stop. I think that’s really cool. He’s come to church a few times and even said a prayer. I asked the missionaries for a Book of Mormon and gave it to him.

I think it’s nice to have someone my age stand up for what is right. Especially someone I know.

I know that Jesus lives. He is Alpha and Omega (as my dad’s Greek friend would say), the first and the last. He is my Savior and my Redeemer. He died for me so I can live again. Because of Him, I know that it’s possible for me to enter the celestial kingdom. I know that He loves me.
