exalting them are dishonoring their Creator. The men who use their
time and talents in this work, while they claim to be working for the
word and cause of God, show that they need to learn of the great
Teacher, for as educators they must have the spirit of the Master of
education. They are making no difference between the circumcised
and the uncircumcised, but are placing all upon the same level. If
[120]
their perceptive faculties are not sanctified and quickened, that they
may distinguish between the sacred and the common, they will go on
placing man where God should be. Failing to distinguish between
obedience and disobedience, they will give the trumpet an uncertain
sound, and men will be unprepared for the battle of the great day of
God.
The Lord makes every difference between the obedient and the
disobedient. “Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of
Israel; I am the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which
leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldst go. O that thou hadst
hearkened to My commandments! Then had thy peace been as a river,
and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea.” “But of Him are ye in
Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness,
and sanctification, and redemption: that, according as it is written, He
that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.”
How important it is that the men to whom students look for in-
struction shall diligently search the Scriptures, that they may know
the way, the truth, and the life. In the sixth chapter of John there is
instruction of great importance to those who would be teachers. Let
it be carefully studied by our teachers, that they may be able to give
their students meat in due season. “It is written in the prophets,” said
Christ, “And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that
hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto Me. Not that
any man hath seen the Father, save He which is of God, He hath seen
the Father. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me hath
everlasting life. I am that bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in
[121]
the wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread which cometh down
from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. I am the living
bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he
shall live forever: and the bread that I will give is My flesh, which I
will give for the life of the world....
