I was going to say maybe and started typing...but then I noticed something. I hate to be so picky, but I think it matters.
It's about the more mature following and pursuing God with everything within them. It's about them striving to know God more.
If my pastor is actually thinking about the disciplining that he's doing, I definitely don't see it. (I might need to discuss this topic with him someday) He's passionately pursuing God and the result of that is that people can't help but see God in his actions and hear God in his words.
IMO, it's not about showing Christ..it's about pursuing Him. The more time you spend with Him, the more you know Him, the more you love Him, the more you're going to be like Him and the more someone looking at you is going to see God...and not you.
