Discipleship Focus: Teacher
- Teacher: One who holds forth the truth and is excited by it. The teacher looks for ways to explain, enlighten, and apply truth. A teacher's authority doesn't come from how smart they are but from the Word of God and the power of a transformed life.
Although it is a small part of the passage, I think it is worth
looking to the end of the passage at Bezalel.
Notice that there are a few things said about this man. First, he is a skilled craftsman with the
ability to grasp vision. Here is a man
capable of putting what God desires into reality.
Notice, however, that this ability has been granted to him by
God. He can do this things because God
has empowered him. God has given him the
ability to see and work with what needed to be done. Bezalel has what he has because it first came
from God.
Second, notice that with Bezalel he is not just a craftsman. He is a teacher. He doesn’t care only to do; He also cares to
teach others to do with him. For
Bezalel, doing is one thing. It is
another thing to teach others to do alongside of himself.
