His Assistant:
I found myself meditating this morning on what it means to be a bible teacher and the responsibility of a bible teacher. The bible is the living word of GOD that smarter more scholarly people or myself cannot fully understand or comprehend all of the wonderful mysteries contained within the pages of the bible. I believe I am just an assistant tour guide hopefully inspiring others to want to explore His wonderful words contained in the text of the bible. The Holy Spirit chooses when and what words to bring alive to each and every hearer or reader of the bible and I need to just be available to experience the miracle of His words coming to life in people. Praise GOD for his Holy Spirit and the mystery of a living book.
Eph 3:1-10 KJV
3:1 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles-- 2 if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you, 3 how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already, 4 by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ), 5 which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets: 6 that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel, 7 of which I became a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effective working of His power.
8 To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, 9 and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ;
