The Comeback Son

We mentioned recently that a woman declared us "the comeback master," because of how we rallied from a small stack to a top-five finish at a local tournament. We took it as a compliment -- but we could have challenged it for a couple of reasons.

1. I am NOT a master. I merely serve one....

But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. -- Matthew 23:8, KJV

The word "Rabbi" here comes from a Greek word meaning "my master." Jesus said that title belongs to him -- although to be honest, we've been in church speaking clubs over the years where people were called "Topicsmaster" and "Toastmaster" with no one raising questions about it.

2. Jesus the "Master" is coming back someday....

For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. -- I Corinthians 15:22-23

If you belong to Christ, you'll get to meet Him in the air at His second coming (I Thessalonians 4:17). If you want to know how to belong to Him, e-mail us -- we'll be glad to guide you through the process.
