“The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.”
The student is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher — the student-teacher relationship establishes the appropriate hierarchy and aspiration: the student is not above the teacher, but a fully trained student becomes like the teacher. The implication for discipleship is the aspiration of Christlikeness — not superiority to the Teacher but formation into the Teacher's character.
