“Now teach these truths to other trustworthy people who will be able to pass them on to others.” (2 Timothy 2:2 NLT)
A good teacher is not only knowledgeable about the subject being taught, but also knows how to skillfully convey the information in ways that students of all abilities understand. Educators of teachers have an even more complex job. First of all, they have to be good instructors themselves. Secondly, they have to help others develop teaching skills.
Discipleship involves a complex set of responsibilities. First of all, we are all students who seek to know God. We read, listen, contemplate, practice, and apply what we learn. We are also tasked with teaching truths that we have gleaned to other trustworthy people who will be able to pass them on to new students.
When you recognize truth, do you feel a tugging in your soul? That sense of conviction is your calling. Pay attention. Allow yourself plenty of time to soak in God’s presence. Then, express, teach, share the glorious Good News.
