Teachers that Teach

Although by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the basic principles of God’s revelation again. You need milk, not solid food. —Hebrews 5:12

The Scripture is forthright: “you ought to be teachers.” The book of Hebrews wasn’t written exclusively for the clergy; it speaks to a larger audience of believers who earned their living in various ways. To be a teacher was to be a disciple who, as he or she was learning the ways of Christ, was then passing those truths on to others.

Some have a distinct gift of teaching and are called on to serve the church through it. But all who follow Christ are meant to be discipling. We are to be not just recipients but also conduits of Christ’s teaching. Our homes, our dinner tables, our small groups, and even our most casual interactions are teaching places. People may not fill up their notebooks with the things we say, but God can speak in up-close ways through people like us who love Him and His Word and who truly care for the spiritual well-being of those around us.
