“The student is not greater than the teacher; but, having improved, everyone will be like his teacher.” — Luke 6:40

In one popular video, a three-year-old student, who had already earned a white belt in karate, imitated her trainer. With passion and zeal, the little girl repeated all his words and movements after the mentor. She did a great job!

The Lord Jesus said: “The disciple is not greater than the teacher, but when perfected, everyone will be like his teacher” (Lk. 6:40). He told the disciples that, following His example, they should be generous, loving and non-judgmental (vv. 37-38), and be careful about whom they follow: “Can the blind lead the blind? Will not both fall into the pit?” (v. 39). The disciples had to understand that the Pharisees were blind leaders who led the people to disaster (Mt. 15:14), so it is important to follow the Master steadfastly. Disciples of Christ should strive to be like Him and to fulfill His instructions regarding the manifestation of generosity and love.

Striving to follow the example of Jesus Christ, let us dedicate ourselves to our Teacher, so that we may become like Him in understanding, wisdom and actions. Only He can help us to reproduce His generous and loving character.

In what ways are you striving to follow Jesus today? When is it most difficult for you to follow the example of Christ the Master?

Lord Jesus, great Teacher, help me to follow You disciplinedly and attentively!
