Aramaic word of the Day - Rabboni

2025-07-08

In the Middle Eastern mindset, to follow a master is to imitate his very essence. But in the Western world, you often separate knowledge from life. A teacher gives you information. A student takes notes. But in the world of Jesus, a Rabboni gives you himself. That’s why Mary didn’t cry out “Rabbi!” or “Jesus!”She said: With the tears of recognition. With the intimacy of a disciple who had once been lost—and now was found in His voice. This one word captures a universe of longing, grief, hope, and reunion.

This one word captures a universe of longing, grief, hope, and reunion.

When was the last time you didn’t just study Jesus, but called out to Him as your Rabboni?

When was the last time you let His presence find you, like He found Mary by the empty tomb?

Let today be that day. Call Him Rabboni not with your head, but with your heart.

Mary’s cry in the garden still echoes today.

She didn’t just see Him. She knew Him.
