A serious art student goes to a master artist to learn the intricacies of fine art. A carpentry apprentice learns the skills of the trade from one with knowledge drawn from experience. An athlete with great potential seeks the best coaching to refine his abilities. These novices seek to learn from the best so that they can become accomplished like the best. This learning doesn’t take place over a short period of education, but is a enduring process to grow in the necessary knowledge and skills.
In Luke 6:40 Jesus is quoted as saying, “A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will become like his teacher.” We have much to learn about life, wisdom, and truth. We must choose our instructors wisely. Since God created all things, sustains all things, and knows all things, choosing Him as our instructor is wise. Make it your lifelong goal to learn from Jesus each day, so that you can become like Him.
