Luke 6:40 “A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher.”
We cannot expect to be any better than those we learn from. Without being disciples of Christ, we have only a motley crew of the men of this world to choose from if we want a renowned teacher. Beyond that we may have a significant wise person in our lives that is not so well known. But in any case, short of Christ we get only to emulate another human being, who has not the words of life.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Christ! I find myself saying it so often. There are so many things about Him to be thankful for. He is the Perfect Teacher. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
