Jared Matthews’s Reviews > Practicing the Way: Be with Jesus, Become Like Him, Do As He Did > Status Update

Comer proposes that Jesus was a rabbi. As such, he invites us to follow him and become his disciple. Disciples’ in the ancient world were to be with their rabbi, become like their rabbi, and learn to do as their rabbi did. A disciple of Jesus must do the same. In our culture, being a Christian is radically different than being a disciple. We are called to an active life of discipleship, not a passive Christianity.
