Bible DISCOVERY 5: There is Only ONE MASTER

 

Matthew 23:8-12 

King James Version

8 But be not ye called Rabbi: 

for one is your Master, even Christ; 

and all ye are brethren.

9 And call no man your father upon the earth: 

for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

10 Neither be ye called masters: 

for one is your Master, even Christ.

11 But he that is greatest among you 

shall be your servant.

12 And whosoever shall exalt himself 

shall be abased; 

and he that shall humble himself 

shall be exalted.

We humans scramble to outdo each other.

We want names and titles.

We want prestige, fame, wealth, power, glory, beauty.

But those are all of the world.

Only JESUS, the Son of God, deserves ALL the TITLES in the world and in Heaven -- and they all pertain to the SPIRIT -- of which we all are, the day God breathed life into us.

The verses above came from the LORD Himself, as He admonished the scribes and Pharisees, who He called "hypocrites".

The whole chapter on what Jesus said can be read here.
