Exposition
The
disciple is not above his master – The Greek meaning of
the word ‘disciple’ is pupil which is probably why most translations have ‘student’
rather than disciple and ‘teacher’ rather than ‘master’.
Many describe the world
that we live in as a school and all human beings as students. If there is an
element of truth in this saying, you must choose, who is your teacher? Will you
choose the error that is prevalent out there in the world or will you choose Jesus
Christ?
2 Corinthians
4: 4 makes clear the agenda of satan – It says - In whom the god of
this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of
the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Satan wants to stop disciples from following the teachings of our Lord, Jesus
Christ. Do not be taken in by the antics of the deceiver.
Accept that your Master Jesus
has all you need inside of Him. He is truly the ageless One. He is the All in
All, He knows everything and He has everything. Decide to sit at His feet. Let
Him pour of Himself into you and in time you will be like Him. Importantly the
Pastor you listen to must point you to Jesus, if not there is danger.
but
every one that is perfect shall be as his master –
Perfect here means everyone that is teachable or repairable shall be like his
master. Such a person will be holy like the Master is holy. Such a person has
undergone the process and is now dead to self.
This verse is the end of a
parable by Jesus Christ. This is His expectation for you and I. He promised
when He was going back to heaven that He will leave the Holy Spirit who will
teach us all things. Take the opportunity and let Him be glorified in your
life.
Prayer
I ask for help in making
the right choices. Give me a discerning heart so that I will choose what I
allow inside of me. I decide to live at your feet being taught by you. Help me
to remember at all times that I am the student and you are the Master. There
might be people I have influence over. Help me to be a good example to such
people at all times in Jesus name. Let me be like you, my Father and my God in
Jesus name.
