02-05-11 (Day 5) see, search, so what

Day 5

The student is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher.

SEE:
I see this as being about humility.  A student is not to think of himself as being better than his teacher.  I also see purposeful effort.  To be fully trained is not something I imagine as easy at all when considering the material we are trained on; life.  Rather it takes a lifetime to become fully trained on life and only a teacher such as Jesus could fully train one do do the Father’s will in that time.  I see humility and purposeful effort to do the Father’s will.

SEARCH:
Who – Who is this verse written to?  Who is it about?  Who wrote it?
This was written by God through Luke and records Jesus speaking to a large crowd of His disciples and a great number of people from all over Judea, from Jerusalem, and from the coastal region around Tyr and Sidon.  It is about me that Jesus is speaking.  I am the student; the disciple.
What – What should I do?
                I should be humble and seek daily to learn the way of Jesus.      
Where – Where should I do this?
                Everywhere.  Even when I do not have my eyes on the Bible I should have my mind meditating on His word.
Why – Why should I seek to learn the ways of Jesus?
                To serve and reach others and to be like Him who has come to seek and save the lost.  I cannot ever fully reach this in every way, but I can become more like Him daily and become empowered daily by the Holy Spirit to do the good that He would do here.

SO WHAT:

There shouldn’t be a day that goes by that I do not follow after my Master and King.  Every day, (no matter what!), I need to spend time in the Word of God.  This needs to be a priority.  Every day, (no matter what!), I need to spend time communicating with my Teacher and learning humbly from Him.  This is a class that I cannot afford to miss.  Nor do I desire to do so.
