“You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am.” John 13:13 (NIV)
These were spoken by Jesus to His followers while he was here on earth. He was confirming their assertion of who He was when they called him “Teacher” and “Lord.” Just as those who followed Him then recognized who Jesus was to them. We who now follow Him in spirit by faith also recognize Jesus as our Teacher and our Lord. He has promised in this verse that He is our Teacher and He is our Lord and that makes a difference in how we live day to day. He has much to teach us every day. He knows how God wants us to live and He knows what God wants us to do with our lives. Let's be sure we are following His lead and learning what He is teaching us. That is how we can know that we are being guided by our Savior Jesus all through each day. It is also important that we recognize Him as our Lord for He is in control of all things and of our activities. Let's avoid the conflict that we might encounter when we try to control our own decisions apart from His teaching. As our Lord, let's submit to his perfect guidance.
