In life, it is important to know our status and to act accordingly.
If we are subordinates, then we know that we will have to carry out our superior’s directions.
If we are students or apprentices, then we will have to follow our teacher’s or instructor’s instructions.
As Jesus said in the gospel, no servant is greater than his master, no messenger is greater than the man who sent him.
And Jesus also said that happiness will be ours if we behave accordingly.
So in life, we must know who has authority over us – our parents, our superiors, our instructors, our teachers.
Over and above, we also know that God is our Creator and it is Him that we pledge our obedience and to do His will.
Our model is Jesus who came to do the Father’s will.
Let us follow the way of Jesus, and happiness and peace will be ours.
