Rabbi: "Come follow me."
It simply means, "You can be like me."
We're called to discipleship as God knows we've the potential to be like Christ.
And what a disciple needs is the 3 "F"s,
Free to love

Learnt in-depth of the background of the city of Corinth and Ephesus.
So beautiful are the correlations/relevance to the readings of Corinthians and Ephesians.
I like the name Corinth. Maybe give that name to my kids...+)
A lot of historical background...
drawing references to Old Testament, and even modern day...
was perpetually sleepy throughout the day.
Kept writing notes to keep myself awake.
oh yes, finally...we're also called to be prophets of today.
Role of prophets are not just to foretell the future,
but they are mainly to give encouragement, build people up and consoles people.
This is what some of the prophetic books does like Malachi, Haggai.
Yesterday was at Angela's house for the Taize gathering.
Her house was jaw-dropping.
I felt like I was in some tropical parts of Europe or smthg.
Br Ghislain from Taize was there and led the sharing with Taize songs.
It was surreal.
Relieving the memories and some of them got emotional.
Coz we're just sucked into our work and back to the swirl of things,
often trying to find our centre and re-focus back.
Trying not to forget what we brought back/learnt from the pilgrimmage of trust.
Angela worked as a lawyer for 3yrs after graduation...
and she got fed up and decided to go travel for 6months with another friend.
There...she stumbled upon Taize in France and slowly...
the Taize community in S'pore starts from then.
God calls and leads in mysterious ways.
Indeed.
