It is one thing to know Jesus was a Rabbi and even to call him Rabbi Jesus. It is quite another thing to make him "My Rabbi." In order to truly learn from Rabbi Jesus we must first follow him as students. The Hebrew word for students is Talmidim. In our New Testaments, we translated Talmidim as Disciples. The call of Rabbi Jesus is to follow him as disciples. If we are to know him for who he truly is, if we are to experience him not just as Saviour, but also as Master and Lord, we must commit our lives to discipleship under him.
Just as he must be understood in the context of First Century Rabbi-ship, so too our call to follow him must also be understood in the context of First Century discipleship. His call to discipleship is still alive today. The call to follow after Rabbi Jesus as disciples is an ongoing process even today. Find yourself a Bible-teaching church and join - become a disciple of Jesus!
