Real Life Heroes: Educators Part 3 Matthew 28:18-20 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Following Jesus’ example and command, EVERY Christian is called to TEACH. 1. In WORD and DEED. John 13:15 2. He taught through PRECEPT. Matthew 6:19-21 3. He taught through NARRATIVE story. Matthew 24:37-39 4. He taught through SCRIPTURE. John 6:45; John 8:17; Matthew 15:7-9 5. He taught through REAL life circumstances and stories. John 9:1-3; Luke 16:19-31 6. He taught through METAPHOR. Matthew 13:3-9 7. He taught through QUESTIONS. Matthew 22:21-25 8. He taught through community DISCUSSION. Luke 10:25-28 9. He taught through CONFRONTATION (correcting, rebuking). Matthew 23:23 10. He taught through direct STATEMENTS. John 14:6 11. He taught through ILLUSTRATION. Matthew 22:15-22 12.

There is not just one way to DEAL with people. Jude 1:22 22Be merciful to those who doubt; 23 save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh. We must TRUST and be LED by the Holy Spirit to know what to do and say at any given moment to speak into a person’s life. Matthew 10:19-20
