Know. The message. The word. The pupil. Thy self.

There is no responsibility more rewarding or more demanding than that of being a Sunday School teacher.

One must first of all be well acquainted with the Master Teacher and be persuaded that He is the guide in all things.

One must be acquainted and have a love for what the Master taught or he will soon be teaching men’s ideas and philosophies and leave the people without a message that will help them across the deserts of this world and into the divine oasis of the heavenly.

One must be on speaking terms with the Master or He will soon be talking with everyone else and what he learns will not be that which can help a student to a spiritual life.

One must have a genuine love for those he attempts to teach or they will quickly sense that what we do is a drudgery or at best an irksome duty to be performed. Such a person will never win a student.

The rewards of being a Sunday school teacher cannot be measured because: How does one measure the soul’s delight when he sees a student kneel before the Lord and find His peace? How does one evaluate the joy of seeing a disturbed home united in love and holy appreciation? How does one place a value that comes through the satisfaction of having done our best to teach the Master’s lesson and having known His “well done, thou good and faithful servant.”
