Bible
Key Verse: Verse 7 – “Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;”
Key Words: or he that teacheth, on teaching
The words teacher and
teaching mean the same thing, to impart instruction.
The teacher has the knowledge and ability to
instruct so that the students can “get it.”
Years ago my wife wanted to take piano
lessons. The pianist at our church gave
lessons and she could play that piano.
So my wife said, “I’ll take from her,” and she did; but she was learning
very little. The teacher was unable to
give instruction that my wife could relate to.
We come to find out that it wasn’t just Linda. Several other of her students were having the
same problem. You see, this lady could
play the piano but she had a hard time communicating with others how to
play. While she was a great pianist, she
wasn’t a great teacher.
Later we heard about a young man from
The church pianist had the gift of playing the
piano. The young Australian had the gift
of teaching it.
In every aspect of life you see this type of
thing. I have talked to scientists and
when they left I was scratching my head, asking myself, “What did he say?” On the other hand, I’ve had science teachers
that could bring science down to where I could understand it. One was a gifted scientist, the other a
gifted teacher.
So if you have the gift of teaching, your help to turn the light of knowledge on is greatly needed today. We praise God for you!!
✞ “I got it” is like the Hallelujah Chorus to the one with the gift of teaching.
