"But do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers.
Do not call anyone on earth your father, because you have one Father, who is in heaven.
And do not be called masters either, because you have one Master, the Messiah. "
Matthew 23:8-10
Ultimately who did we come forth from?
Ultimately who is our source of wisdom?
Ultimately who is our Master?
The trinity shows up here as our answer and Jesus is solving
a very big problem here.
People were taking titles and feeling exalted because of them.
People were doing that "Animal Farm" (by George Orwell) thing where
they start out as brothers, but then become more important brothers, higher,
with more status.
Jesus observed that and had a solution that has so many benefits for us
it is almost unbelievable.
God is your Father, ultimately. So if you find your true identity as a son or daughter all your 'father issues' are healed, and you are living as chosen, holy and beloved.
The Holy Spirit is your Teacher, recalling to your mind all the things pertaining to life and godliness, running every teaching past Him will preserve you from error and deception.
Jesus is your Master, your Lord, and the one whose life is being lived through you. So (oh hallelujah this is good news) your Master who demands obedience is also the Life in you that obeys!
It is for freedom that we are set free.
