Command: Do not be called, do not call

Matthew 23:8-10

8“But do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers. 9“Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. 10“Do not be called leaders; for One is your Leader, that is, Christ.

Story: Saul chosen king

1 Samuel 9:1 – 10:27, Saul chosen king (Melech pp. 155-158)

When meditating on the commands and stories, keep these questions in mind:

What do I learn about God, Jesus, and/or the Holy Spirit?
What do I learn about man/ people?
What troubles or bothers me? What does the Holy Spirit reveal to me in light of this?
How does the command connect to the story?
What is God saying to me (or what should I obey) & what am I going to do about it?
Do I have any fears, doubts, or resistance in keeping this command?
What does this command reveal about the condition of my heart – what do I really believe and what do I really want?
