The Dust of the Rabbi

Sep 22, 2026    Glenn Bleakney

What if discipleship was never meant to be a class you complete, but a life you follow? A talmid didn’t simply learn from a rabbi. He stayed close enough to become like him. Jesus took this ancient model and turned it upside down, calling ordinary people to follow Him and promising, “I will make you.”

True discipleship is transformation through proximity. We stay close to Jesus, learn His ways, practice what He taught, and ultimately help others do the same. The goal is not merely disciples. It is disciples who make disciples.
