This is the second in a series talking about family matters and I mentioned family matters because every member of the family of God ought to be teachers. We’ve looked at Mark the 6th chapter and we saw something very interesting about Jesus’s ministry. We’ll start at the 4th verse,
We also mentioned that Jesus really did want to do the mighty works there in his own home town. But what did he do when he recognized they were in unbelief? He went around about their villages teaching them and then we noticed that just as Jesus Christ was sent into the world, we are sent into the world. Jesus taught as the remedy for unbelief. The remedy for unbelief is teaching and the main purpose behind teaching is to form beliefs.
Jesus taught in order to form beliefs within people that the people would need so that Jesus could do what he wanted to do; help them and heal them. And just as Jesus taught, we ought to be teachers. Everybody in the family of God are not called to stand in the office of a teacher but every one of us should be teachers. You should grow to a place where you simply pass along to one another what you have
in hopes of causing areas in people’s lives that are governed by their flesh, to begin to be governed by the Word of God. That’s when victory and God’s best happen in people’s lives. So, when we come upon, or encounter those brethren who may be overtaken with a fault, the scripture says restore such a one in the spirit of meekness. The way you do it is you just simply step into their lives. Become involved in their lives on a regular basis and become an influencer in their lives and restore them.
The scripture says in the book of Hebrews the 5th chapter and 12th verse,
12For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

Even though we may not all be standing in the office of a teacher, we all can teach – All of us. All that a teacher does is pass along what he knows to someone else. And you can take a new convert into your kitchen or into your favorite restaurant or onto a park and teach them how to walk in love or how to forgive. Teach them how to pray. Teach them how to live by faith. There is something that you and other believers can teach others that it should not take a pastor to get across to them.
Everyone in the family of God has a responsibility to teach and that is a family matter. Yes, when we embrace that principle, when we embrace that responsibility, our own life takes on another level of fulfillment. That’s how you walk in love and you know love is the fulfillment of the law. I noticed that Jesus didn’t just spend his life running around trying to get his blessing. Jesus lived a deliberate life because he did not come to be served, but he came to serve. And just as Jesus was sent into the world, you and I are sent into the world.
We lay down our life and we find the life that God has for us. God has already revealed in the scripture that he has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus. We embrace that reality and we walk on out there in love having our confidence in the Word of God that says that God has already blessed us and that we are sons of God and we are the righteousness of God. God has given us the gift of righteousness and now we, like Jesus, can represent. Now the scripture says in that day you shall know. Jesus said (speaking of this day)
That’s how we can walk in the manifestation of Jesus Christ in us, by walking in this love, baring one another’s burdens. So, anyone who fulfills the law of God walks in all the blessed state that God intended for us. You see, in Galatians 6:1,
1Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, (spiritual means letting the word of God govern your life in that particular area) restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
Now this 2nd verse,
2Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
That’s how you fulfill the law of God; Live to be a blessing to others and you should be a teacher, teaching passing along to one another, stepping into one another’s lives, and passing along that what you have heard. Jesus said, he that hath my commandments and keepeth them he it is that loves me and he that loves me shall be loved by my father and I will love him and I will manifest myself unto him.
