Who Do You Follow?
There’s an ancient rabbinic blessing which says, “May you be covered in the dust of your Rabbi.” In other words, may you walk so closely behind the one you follow that the very dust from their steps will anoint you.Whom do you follow right now?
In a time of pandemic, Great Resignation, political and social unrest, it’s hard not to double down on the places we find comfort. TV, alcohol, Twitter—we may turn to them so frequently, we don’t notice how caked we are in their dirt. So many “rabbis,” calling for us to follow them and promising to ease our discontent if we just eat, drink, watch, click, like. But do they deliver on their promise? How’s that working out for you?There may be nothing on this earth that will quiet our pain completely until Jesus returns to wipe the tears from every eye. But until then, we wait, and we follow. And if we follow close enough, our pain becomes tolerable. Closer still, and it becomes meaningful. At his heels, and it becomes useful. Join us as we ask ourselves the question, “whom do you follow?” And perhaps more important—whom should we follow?
