A "disciple" is literally a student. But, biblically, a disciple is not a student of a topic (e.g. mathematics or French) but of a person. A disciple is someone who follows a person, learning from him/her with the intention of becoming like him/her. We might therefore define a disciple as a student of Jesus learning from Him how to be like Him in thought, character and action.
See discipleship.org's list of definitions near the bottom of this page.
The entire purpose of this site is to know what Jesus is like
so that we might become like Him.
In other words, this site is all about being disciples of Jesus Christ.
