Answer 1

Answer:

Mother Theresa displayed two qualities of discipleship and they include;

1. Generosity (Acts 20:35)

2. Sacrifice (Luke 2:15)

Explanation:

Mother Theresa born in 1910 at Macedonia and baptized as Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu received her calling for missionary work at the young age of 12. When she turned 18, she moved to Dublin, Ireland to her new life as a nun. There she was renamed Sister Mary Teresa. Her call within a call came in September 10, 1946. This call was a call to devote her life to charity. She did a lot of charity work across India, the United States and even to people of different faiths. Mother Theresa was;

1. Generous: According to the Bible in Acts 20:35, "there is more happiness in giving than in receiving". Mother Theresa's life was centered in giving.

2. Sacrifice: Luke 2:15 says that, "even when a person has an abundance, his life does not result from the things he possesses". She took a vow of poverty when she started as a nun. This required a great deal of sacrifice on her part.
