Matthew 23:10
King James Version
8 Jun 2026
“Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.”
Χριστός
The one set apart and equipped for a specific task. Oil was poured on kings, priests and prophets in the Old Testament — the anointing meant: this one is chosen, this one is sent. Jesus stands up in Nazareth and reads Isaiah — and then says: this is Me. I am the one sent.

To call, to summon, to invite. Kaleo. Many are called but few are chosen. The call of God is universal but the response is personal. The invitation is open. Will you come.
