在網路上瘋傳的一段影片裡，一個穿著空手道白帶的3歲小女孩正認真地模仿她的教練。小女孩帶著激情，堅定地跟著她的教練大聲朗誦學生信條，接著，這個可愛且精力充沛的小傢伙便以從容和專注的態度，認真模仿教練所說和所作的每一件事，至少她做得挺好的！

耶穌曾說：「學生不能高過先生；凡學成了的不過和先生一樣」（路加福音6章40節）。祂告訴門徒當效法祂的樣式，包括慷慨、有愛心、不論斷人（37-38節），而且耶穌也要他們認清自己跟隨的對象，因為「瞎子豈能領瞎子，兩個人不是都要掉在坑裡嗎？」（39節）祂的門徒必須看清楚，依此標準，法利賽人並沒有資格當導師，因為他們是瞎眼的嚮導，只會讓人遭殃（馬太福音15章14節）。門徒也需要明白跟隨耶穌這位老師的重要性，基督門徒的目標是要學習越來越像耶穌。對他們而言，認真學習基督教導的慷慨與愛並且實踐出來，乃是極其重要的。

今天，我們這些努力效法耶穌的信徒，要將生命獻給耶穌這位偉大的老師，使我們在知識、智慧與行為上能更像祂。只有祂能幫助我們在生命中反映出祂那慷慨、慈愛的待人方式。

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.
