Disciples and Apostles For Christ

All apostles are disciples, but not all disciples are apostles.

Have you ever asked why Christ Jesus had only 12 apostles? Let's look at both to understand more about being followers of Jesus.

A disciple is one who is instructed; taught and learned. Because of this, everyone who calls himself/herself a Christian is a follower of Christ, desiring to be taught by Him.
An apostle is also a disciple, but he/she is sent on a special assignment. Even Jesus Himself is called an Apostle (see Hebrews 3:1 "Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus"). We know Christ was 'sent' to earth for a very special mission. Because he was sent, he chose 12 men and sent them into all the world to do the same.

Whether The LORD is calling you to be a general disciple or an apostle for a particular mission, He needs you to go for Him and preach, teach and baptize.
