This is also where we sometimes get stuck: discipleship in the Bible doesn’t look like Jesus’ friends in the classroom achieving and achieving and learning and learning until they are filled up with good grades and ready to graduate. It doesn’t look like a proficiency exam. In the Bible, it actually looks like the opposite: discipleship looks like people unlearning everything and falling apart.
…be filled with the Spirit, 19as you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts, 20giving thanks to God the Father at all times and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.—- From Ephesians 5:19-20
