“You call Me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for so I am.” John 13:13 (NASB)
During His time on this earth, while he was teaching people about Himself and who He was, Jesus gave several names by which people could refer to Him. We see two in today's verse. These are the names which were used especially by Jesus' disciples and express what Jesus Christ was for them. The same names represent what Jesus is for us too. He is our Teacher and is involved in our lives daily teaching us truths which we need to know. So what should our reaction be? We need to be open to His teaching and we should be learning lessons from Him all through our lives. Jesus is our Lord and we call Him Lord but let's not forget that this requires obedience. We must obey our Lord. As we think of these two names, let's remember to be learning and obeying Him each day. What He teaches us gives us direction for our lives which we need to follow – learn and obey what we learn.
