Lesson 6.1 | When the Rabbi Says "Come"
Learning to Live as Jesus Lived

When Jesus called His disciples, it was implied that they would begin this process of becoming like Him by following closely in His footsteps. Travel through the Galilee with these followers of Jesus, and allow the dust to cover your feet as well.
