The Rabbi Who Leads the Church


The head of the church isn’t a pope, isn’t a minister, it’s a Rabbi. Yeshua, Jesus is a Rabbi. He’s called Rabbi and He’s the Grand Rabbi. The Rabbi in Jewish culture was the one who taught you. He expounds on God’s word.

In fact, there was a word that went along with rabbi, it was always rabbi and talmeedeem. The talmeedeem were the learners.

One of the main ministries of the Messiah to us is to teach us because He is the Rabbi.  That means that if we are His, we are talmeedeem.  You are a disciple, you are a talmeedeem.  As a student, we are to learn more about the Lord, about His ways, His word, His love, to become like Him, your Rabbi.

The wonderful thing is that you have a great Rabbi. He will lead you if you follow Him.  That means your life is a course and the greatest course that has ever been given. Set your heart to know God and to learn from Him. He will teach you now, every moment, every day of your life a new lesson, because the head of the church and of you is a Rabbi.

The text above is an excerpt from message #657 – The Grand Rabbi via http://www.hopeoftheworld.org/Sapphires/.

Every Rabbi needs to have had a great teacher. Where did Jesus get his great learning to become the grand Rabbi?  John 7:14-17 gives us the answer:
Not until halfway through the festival did Jesus go up to the temple courts and begin to teach.  The Jews there were amazed and asked, “How did this man get such learning without having been taught?”
Jesus answered, “My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me. Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.
God bless,
Daniel
