“It is not impossible to be a true disciple if Jesus in the modern world” Discuss this statement showing that you have considered more than one point of view.
In our modern day world I don’t believe it is impossible to be a disciple but to be a true disciple and follower of Jesus would be hard. There are many distractions for people in today’s society, family, career and materialistic goods. Religion is not seen as a priority in modern day life it is seen as unnecessary and unimportant part of life.
With the pressures and priorities of modern day life we don’t seem to have time to go to mass, stop and think or maybe just reflect on our day to day lives. Pressures from the media can change people’s views on God, life, mass and even the Eucharist. With so many people wanting careers for a successful life, with money they concentrate on materialistic products and not the important things such as family, love, friends and God. They work long hours, five days a week. People in the emergency services cannot decide when to work or not, it’s a full time job. This does not leave much time for importance of discipleship.
We do not realise how lucky we are to be able to practice out religion freely without disapproval and receive the Eucharist as often as we want. Many countries in the world do not allow freedom of religion and they are forbidden to practice their religions, they must practice these religions in secret of their own homes.
