Velvet Elvis

I just got done reading through Rob Bell's book, Velvet Elvis. Got to get it. It left me with a thought in my own life...how am I doing? Am I living the type of life that a "talmidim"? As a disciple, am I covered in the "dust of my rabbi"? Upon reflection, I am falling short. My rabbi expects more from me than just to believe.

Recently I was challenged to read more about my rabbi. To begin to engross myself in the teachings and life of my rabbi. If Jesus is my rabbi, then I must do everything in my power to learn about my rabbi. Peter, James, John and the rest had it easy so to speak. Think about it they got to go everywhere with Jesus...they watched him...they ate with him...they heard him...they lived with him. The best any of us can now do is to absorb the life of Jesus in the writings we are blessed to have. I would like to say that I have been doing a good job with studying my rabbi. The good thing is there is still time.
