YOU WILL RISE UP

 

The practice in this part of the world has been, people would generally get up when the Pastor walks in.  It is a mark of  showing respect to the one who has been anointed by God. 

There   was a  student for Theological  studies. It was well known  that he once had remarked to somebody,    " You will not rise up when I come in now. But you will do that after a few years." 

He is now a full fledged Pastor somewhere.

I presume his assumption must have become real now.

He must have forgotten he has to grind hard to earn respect and that  it should never be an oblation.
