In our program today we’re going to look at a verse in the Gospel of Matthew that at first seems out of place and second, seems a little bit superstitious. Jesus was not even remotely superstitious, so we’ll tackle it to see if there’s a deeper meaning.

We’ve learned about rabbis and their students or disciples in the past couple of programs and today we’ll finish up learning how disciples would watch, follow and emulate their rabbis so closely that the process was described as walking in his dust. In other words, staying so close to learn all they could, that the very dust from the rabbi’s sandals would cover them.

The rabbis of the ancient world ? and today ? hand selected their students, their disciples, whom they would teach about God’s Law and how they were to live. The disciples or students role was to learn everything they could from him so that their lives mirrored that of the rabbi. We’re continuing on Foundations to learn how students or disciples related to their rabbis.

Builders know that getting the foundation right when building a structure is vital, if the structure is to be safe and last. If the foundation is faulty, the building might collapse and harm all those in it. The same is true with our faith.
