It is an honor to be a teacher. Jesus was a teacher and was referred to in this way more than any other. It is also a great opportunity to be a teacher. The teacher is the one who prepares people for a better life. It is the teacher who sees that knowledge acquired in present and past generations is passed on to future generations.
Teachers are one of the greatest influences on individuals in any society.
It is also a responsibility to be a teacher. A good teacher is one who arouses the interest and guides the activities of the learner. He serves as a stimulator and encourager. The teacher is not simply one who talks or tells. The good teacher doesn't just attempt to impress people with his knowledge of the subject or his ability to organize material, but he attempts to produce change in the life of the learner.
