ACCEPT HIM AS YOUR TEACHER

Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher,) where dwellest thou? – John 1:38

The Lord Jesus’ Followers accepted Him as their Teacher. He was their Teacher and they were His Disciples. It’s one thing to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord, Saviour, Healer, Deliverer and Provider. It’s another to accept Him as your Teacher.

Buddhists follow the teachings of Buddha. Mohammedans follow the teachings of Muhammad. Marxists follow the teachings of Marx. It would make sense for Christians to follow the Teaching or Doctrine of Christ, but they don’t.

The Doctrine of Christ are the Words of the Lord Jesus Christ in red. The Early Church still read the Law and the Prophets, but through the lens of the Doctrine of Christ their Teacher. Our generation needs to embrace the Lord Jesus as more than just our Lord and Saviour. We need to accept Him as our Teacher and only Source of Doctrine.

CONFESSION

I’m a Disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ. He’s my Teacher and I’m His Student. I accept only the Doctrine of Christ and reject every other teacher with their false doctrines. Glory to God!
