What did Jesus expect from his disciples?

The word disciple means one that is disciplined.  Jesus expects His disciples to be disciplined in His WORD.  Apostle means one sent forth...One that has been disciplined in The WORD and examples Jesus set forth and can go out to the world and teach the gospel, The GOOD NEWS of The WORD.

The New Testiment was written by the followers of Jesus' disciples(followers).  Essentially, Jesus's disciples went into the world to teach what Jesus had told them and they gathered disciples of their own.  Jesus' disciples told their own disciples what they had learned from Jesus, and those people wrote the New Testiment.\n\nThe New Testiment, and the various books that have been left out of the New Testiment, were written entirely by people who never met Jesus, but who recieved the teachings of Jesus through his disciples.\n\nCertainly some of the books in the New Testiment and those that were left out of the New Testiment were written to fill personal needs or political needs to show Jesus to be what a specific group of people needed him to be.  But, I doubt that anybody ever wrote books of the Testiment for fun.\n\nYou need to keep in mind that the Testiment was not written by a group of people who worked or colaborated together.  It was written by a variety of people spread all around.  When the modern church was being formed, the New Testiment was made of several books that church leaders knew were being read by Christians, although several popular texts were left out because the church leaders wanted to keep a unified vision of who Jesus was.

Interesting point, but I thought the whole "second coming" was promised to the disciples AFTER the resurrection. In that case, no.

What would Jesus say?
935901
Jesus said,"In that ye have done it unto the least of your brethren, you have done it unto me." "Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you have done whatsoever I have told you." "This is my commandment that you love one another."  Also it says to treat strangers well because some of them might be angels.  Jesus said, "By this shall men know that your are my disciples, if you love one another." And the word of God says: " How can you love God whom ye haven't seen if you can't love man whom you have seen?"

no, Jesus said "the poor you will always have with you".\n\nIt would appear that Jesus the most generous loving person on earth was rather pragmatic too.\n\n***\nof course there will be a "new heaven and a new earth", - there everything will be restored to righteousness.

These words of Christ are found at Matthew 5:14-15.  He spoke them to his disciples.  They had a weighty responsibility.  They could not keep the wonderful truths they had learned to themselves - under a basket as it were.  They had to live the truth he had taught them every single day - shining as examples to others.  But more than that, they were commanded by him to go and make more disciples, teaching them the same thing.  \n\nIt meant they were to be faithful and zealous witnesses of him throughout the world even as he commanded at Acts 1:6-8.\n\nHannah

None, they actually arrived to worship Him about 18 months after Jesus was born into this world!

We all have our Friends, then our close Friends, then our best Friends, and finally our best friend. Jesus was the same, he had His followers, His disciples, Peter, James and John, and His best friend was Peter. \nPeter seamed to be the smartest and most inquisitive among the disciples, which usually makes one a leader among their peers.\nPeter had the strongest faith and acted on that faith.

What would you expect from the ANTI-CHRIST.

By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”  John 13:35\n\nJesus (and later the apostles) worked miracles in order to prove that what they were saying was of God. \n\nToday we have our love for each other (and for the lost) to prove that we are of Him.\n\nIt doesn't matter how much we know or what great technique we have for sharing it, if we don't love each other.  If we can't show His love to the world, we cannot reach them.

I would think that a disciple would be one that is a devoted follower of the religion's god.  As in the disciples of Jesus Christ. This however could be like the people who were willing to die for Jim Jones or kill for Charles Manson.  They idolized men and were willing to do anything for them.  Unless you are referring to a disciple of religion in general.

A couple of passages come to mind:\n\n37“Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’  Matthew 25:37-40\n\nor\n\n40“He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me. 41He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward. And he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward. 42And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple, assuredly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward.”  Matthew 10:40-42

The answer by Spider is not correct. Jesus was resurrected and we, his followers will be resurrected when he returns at the end of time.\nMaranatha!

What would Jesus say......

Good Question.\n\nThe time that the Disciples spent with Jesus was for "Basic Training", so to speak.\n\nHe taught them a lot of things so that they would be able to partake in the Kingdom of God.\n\nHe sent them out, into battle, two by two, to exercise the things that He was teaching them.\n\nMark 6.7\nThen Jesus went around teaching from village to village. Calling the Twelve to him, he sent them out two by two and gave them authority over evil spirits.\n\nHe told them that they would be like sheep amongst the wolves.\n\nMatt. 10.16\nI am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.\n\nThe bible tells us that we are in a spiritual battle and like the Disciples, we need to spend time with Jesus,{His Word}, to be mature enough to resist the Devil and He will flee.\n\nJames 4:7\nSubmit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.\n\nWe need to be able to discern Good from Evil, because the Devils minions disguise themselves as agents of righteousness \n\n2 Cor. 11. 14-15\nAnd no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.\nIt is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.\n\nSo if we stay immersed in Gods Word we will be able to not only defend against Evil, but we will be able to "Kick The Devils Butt!!!\n\n\nHeb 5.12-14\nIn fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God's word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! \n\nAnyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness.\n\nBut solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
