It is a privilege to be involved in others’ lives as an educator and administrator. And I can say that it is a greater privilege to see those you have taught and encouraged to excel and do better at the work that I did! Praise God. That should be our work in teaching. But I believe this Idea of teaching teachers was given to us by our Savior in a rich and exciting way. One of the Key things Christ did in His earthly ministry was teach. And those who would gather around Him became His disciples.
Jesus said those who followed Him were His disciples because they did what they were taught and taught others what they had learned and understood. Following Jesus as He ministered was a discipleship class that instilled understanding in those who would be used to lead New Testament Churches. The same lessons Jesus taught are still valid today.
When you learn and understand good things, you can teach them to others. But the greatest teacher of spiritual things is the Holy Spirit. He reveals to the Christian the deep things of God. I was speaking with a Christian friend about studying the Bible beyond the top layer of stories to the great truths beneath. He said that this is where we uncover the rich and precious jewels of wisdom for living. When you uncover such truth, share it, teach it, pass it on, and you will be a teacher teaching teachers in the next generation.

Christ gave the greatest teaching challenge in the history of mankind. And here are a few factors to consider. First, Jesus said Go Ye. That means every born-again believer should be a teacher. Now, there are some things a teacher must have when teaching for Christ. The teacher must know Jesus as their Savior. And the teacher must know the Bible and have it in their hands, their head, and their heart. Second, they must know it is the Lord’s will for every believer to proclaim the simple Gospel of Christ. Third, every teacher must be a student of the Lord Jesus. It takes a learner to become a teacher. In Deuteronomy 6, God told His people to learn what He had taught them in their heart, and then teach it diligently to their children. Every parent should be a learner/teacher. Amen! Every Pastor should be a Learner/Teacher. But every Christian should be a Learner/Teacher. Now we know that Paul taught that the Lord gave some Pastors and teachers. I think there are certainly people who have the calling to teach. Praise be to God. But Christ said that there are some things everyone must learn and teach from God’s Word. Fourth, every teacher must be open and yielded to the instruction of the Holy Spirit for their ability to teach. 1 Corinthians 2:13 indicates this truth. “Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.” And this teaching has an endless impact. Teaching will result in men, women, boys, and girls coming to great faith in Christ as Savior. They will cultivate great discernment through the spiritual understanding of Scripture. They will have compassion for others to learn the blessed truth and wisdom for life from the Bible. And they will have all this in their hearts to teach others. The perpetual impact of teaching is that it builds up the church. Not just the entire body of Christ past, present, and future, but the people in present Local New Testament Churches living in communities all across the globe.
Consider what you have learned from your church this week or your personal instruction from the Bible. The simple things are the best things to teach others because they are so profound. Take a truth and teaching this week to someone else, and you will be sowing the seed of eternal truth into someone else’s heart today!
