Luke 6:40
40A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.
Reminds me of something else Jesus said after he washed the disciples' feet. (John 13.12-17) To be a Christian (i.e., "little Christ") is to be a person engaged in apprenticeship to Jesus and his ways. The goal of faith is becoming like Jesus, not just "getting to heaven."

Luke 6:46-49
The Wise and Foolish Builders
46“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?
Absorbing the way of Jesus into our hearts and assimilating truth into our lives is the goal, not merely filling our brains with Bible facts. The value of knowledge and understanding of truth is directly proportionate to the transformation that results. Unfortunately, we are all too capable of knowing and understanding truth at an ostensibly deep level, without ever really embodying that same truth.
