The Challenge Of Being Taught...

A major challenge in understanding the Bible is that of being teachable.
A person may find it difficult to except new ideas from someone who
appears to be lowly.

Yet, the apostles of Jesus Christ were " unlettered and ordinary " men.
{ Acts 4:13 }

Explaining why, Paul wrote : " You behold his calling of you, brothers,
that not many wise in a fleshly way were called, not many powerful ,
not many of noble birth ; but God chose the foolish things of the world,
that he might put the wise men to shame."
{ 1 Corinthians 1:26, 27}

If you find that being taught by a lowly person challenges your humility,
remember that he or she is merely the means used by God to teach you.
What privilidge could be greater than to be taught by Jehovah ,
our ' Grand Instructor "?
{ Isaiah 30:20 , 54:13 }

The Syrian military commander Naaman was someone who found it challenging to recieve insrtuction from a lowly one..

Seeking a cure for his leprosy , he went to see Jehovah's prophet Elisha.

But God's instruction for a cure was relayed to Naaman through a servant.
The message and the way it was presented challenged Naaman's humility,
so that he at first refused to obey the word of God's prophet...
