Just a few thoughts on this pretty straight forward chapter:
(6:12) What a lot is packed into this verse! Look at what The Rabbi does for His talmidim! When I read this, I am forced to ask myself when the last time was that I "went to bat" for my talmidim with this kind of intensity.
(6:23) "Leap for joy" at persecution? Wow. I was just watching the end of a movie you may have heard of called Braveheart. I do not wish to spoil the ending for those of you who haven't seen it, and I realize that William Wallace had some standards other than the Christian life, but after Jesus on the cross (who of course showed us what this looks like), this is the picture I have of "leaping for joy" and finishing well.
(6:27-42) Wow! Some hard words (but important words) to live up to.
(6:40) As we talked about in class, in this verse (especially the second part) is the heart of the rabbi-talmid relationship.
