The Humble Teacher
If you agree with everything I teach, then I have failed you as a teacher. (attributed to F. F. Bruce, 20th century Scottish evangelical scholar)
While there are some students who disregard much of what they are taught, others hold the teacher in high esteem, believing they could do no wrong. Even though their knowledge is extensive, and their study has often led them to the correct conclusions, Bruce’s comment reveals the humble attitude of the true scholar.
If you are a teacher, teach well. (Romans 12:7)
The Teacher was considered wise, and he taught the people everything he knew. The teacher sought to find just the right words to express truths clearly. (Ecclesiastes 12:9-10)
