Rabbi Jesus?

Peter J. Leithart, June 29, 2006

It's a commonplace of liberal theology that Jesus is a great teacher, but no more. Jesus is certainly a teacher in Matthew's gospel, but David Bauer points out that the only people who call him rabbi are strangers or opponents (8:19; 12:38). Oh, yes, and Judas (26:25, 49).

Disciples, those who actually know Jesus, call Him "Lord."
