This is a term used to refer to respected teachers and leaders. Carl Shafer reminds us that because Jesus is our Savior and Lord, we want to pay attention to His teaching methods and activities. Since then, I have come to find this answer not only profound, but also motivating. We do teach the Bible to follow our Master's example. The dynamic growth of the church during this time established teaching as a fundamental activity.
Christian teachers can reflect biblical examples.
We teach the Bible to mirror the work God does through His Church. It is a command. The gift of teaching is the Holy Spirit given and directed ability to impart God's truth so that believers understand how to obey. Unbelievers are also convicted through the clear application of truth. While many express their spiritual gifts through the role of teaching, motivational joy comes to the teacher who discovers and develops the spiritual gift of teaching.
