A slave is not above his master! - Matthew 10:24-26

In this sermon, we dive back into our study in Matthew 10.

24 “A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his master. 25 It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they have called the head of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign the members of his household! 26 “Therefore do not fear them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known."

We learn that we are not above our master who is Christ. If we are slaves of Christ, we no longer live for ourselves, but for Him, and in the same way that they treated Christ, they will treat His followers. The question is, are we truly Christ followers?

A disciple is a learner, but we do not merely learn to know what is pleasing to Him, but also to practice what we've learned. Evidence of a genuine believer is that they will practice what they learn, by the grace of the Holy Spirit indwelling them. The Christian is known for their submission, first and foremost to God, and likewise in the institutions that He has called us to in this life. Government, employment, marriage, etc.
