I’m reading a very interesting book at the moment called Sitting at the feet of Rabbi Jesus. It takes a look at the Jewishness of Jesus and how it can profoundly affect our faith today. Stay tuned for a review of this book as soon as I finish it. In the meantime, I thought this quote from one of the authors, on talking about discipleship, was quite brilliant and challenging:
“None of us is so mature that we cannot be influenced. The question is: who or what do we want to shape our lives? Even the culture around us will try to ‘disciple’ us if we have not placed ourselves under the transforming influence of Jesus Christ.”
