Matthew 23

23:8

But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.

23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

23:10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.

23:11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant

So if one were the greatest among us I doubt he would have fancy titles, robes and hats

INDEED.

It's conceivable that a white robed, gold braided believer could have a significant amount of humility . . . but it would be darn hard to maintain.

And, methinks . . . a truly humble sort would get rid of such pretty quickly.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY, GREAT THINGS !HE! HAS DONE . . .

Servants, who are such at heart . . . tend to love being so in out of the way places and out of the way ways and unnoticed save by GOD ALONE.

Amen, silverlings. When one demands to be called Master or Father, he puts himself above others. Jesus never put himself above others. HE was truly a servant and worthy of being our father, brother, friend because He served humanity.
