Like Our Great Teacher
The student is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher.
Luke 6:40In a viral video, a three-year-old white belt karate student imitated her instructor. With passion and conviction the little girl said the student creed with her leader. Then, with poise and attentiveness, the little ball of cuteness and energy imitated everything her teacher said and did—at least she did a pretty good job!
Jesus once said, “The student is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher” (Luke 6:40). He told His disciples that to imitate Him included being generous, loving, nonjudgmental (vv. 37–38), and discerning about whom they followed: “Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into a pit?” (v. 39). His disciples needed to discern that this standard disqualified the Pharisees who were blind guides—leading people to disaster (Matthew 15:14). And they needed to grasp the importance of following their Teacher. Thus, the aim of Christ’s disciples was to become like Jesus Himself. So it was important for them to pay careful attention to Christ’s instruction about generosity and love and apply it.
As believers striving to imitate Jesus today, let’s give our lives over to our Master Teacher so we can become like Him in knowledge, wisdom, and behavior. He alone can help us reflect His generous, loving ways.

THE VERY FIRST TIME THAT I EVER FLEW ON AN AIRPLANE, I WASN’T ON IT ANYMORE WHEN IT LANDED. DEAFENING NOISE, THEN OUT THE DOOR, THEN SILENCE. DOWN, AND TO MY LEFT, THE RED BALL OF THE SUN WAS SETTING, I HEARD BIRDS SINGING AND REALIZED THAT THEY WERE BELOW ME. MADE A LASTING IMPRESSION ON ME...MORE THAN THE ONE THAT NEVER OPENED.

January was one of the warmest...average temperature 40 which has been exceeded by a couple of tenths twice in the past quarter century.
And practically no snow: Just one inch on the 25th which turned into sleet and plain rain.
February is off to a cold start. Friday and Saturday the high “might” reach freezing.
