Chapter 41 - Teachers

The reason why Paul taught as earnestly as he did, was because his great field was that of a teacher. He was a missionary—that was the external manifestation of the work which he did, but underneath all of that, there was the most profound urge and drive in that man as a teacher; absolutely!

What did those early teachers teach? They introduced the people into a new realm of Spirit with contact with God. The Jews hadn’t had that in the old order. Teachers were chosen, illuminated spirits, with personality gifts; illuminated in the field of spiritual reality. Their ministry was to bring from that field the knowledge, the Truth, the revelation; all that would feed this Body; instruct it; give it its place.
