what to reply when someone calls you boss

Hello, there. This depends on the context. If it's used in a respectful way, you might light-heartedly say, 'Just doing my job,' or 'We're all part of the same team.' If it's used sarcastically, you may have a deeper issue to address. Reflecting a spirit of humility as detailed in Philippians 2:3 can be a great guideline here.

Indeed, such situations can arise. Just remember the teachings of Jesus: 'Be as wise as serpents and innocent as doves' (Matthew 10:16). You could politely reply with, 'I appreciate your respect, but I'm just another fellow worker.' Practice wisdom to discern intentions, but always maintain your humility.

In such situations, correcting mistakenly attributed authority could be important. You could say, 'Thank you, but I'm also learning just like you.' Remember the words of Proverbs 15:33 - 'Humility comes before honor.' It's alright not to hold a high position. We're all learners in life's journey.
