This essay examines the missionary calling and character of the people of God. The argument is made that the call to discipleship has significant implications for how Christians understand their identity. To be a disciple means to submit to a kingdom and a way of life that challenge the powers of this world and nationalistic understandings of identity. Discipleship also implies that following Christ entails bearing the wounds of a broken world as a testimony to the work of Christ. The key themes of discipleship, suffering and identity are examined through an analysis of biblical passages in the Gospel of John and some of Paul’s letters.

在任务中受伤：你从哪里来？门徒训练和见证中的身份和苦难

这篇文章考察了上帝子民的传教呼召和品格。有人认为，门徒训练的呼召对基督徒如何理解他们的身份具有重要意义。成为门徒意味着服从一个王国和一种生活方式，挑战这个世界的力量和民族主义对身份的理解。门徒训练也意味着跟随基督需要承受破碎世界的创伤，作为对基督工作的见证。通过分析约翰福音和保罗的一些书信中的圣经段落，研究了门徒训练、苦难和身份的关键主题。
