Following Jesus as Rabbi and the Theology behind it

Following Jesus as Rabbi in today's context does not involve physically following him as he walked on earth. It symbolizes understanding the theology behind his teachings and actions. Jesus' promise to send the spirit of Jesus, known as the paraclete, signifies his continuous presence inside believers. This reflects the New Testament theology where Jesus replaces the physical temple in Jerusalem, becoming the connection between heaven and earth. Jesus' statement about his body being the temple indicates his role as the bridge between heavenly and earthly realms.
