Who is a real paster? Who is a teacher in earth?
Paul explans his hardships, but he shows the precious value beyond thes hardships in 2 Corinthians 6.
He describes the quality of God's fellow workers in there.
"We put no strumbling block in anyone's path, so that our ministry will not be discredited. Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in everyway: in great endurance; in troubles, hardshps and distresses; in beatings, imprisonments and riots; in hard work, sleepless nights and hunger; in purity, understading, patience and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love; in truthful speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left; through glory and dishonor, bad report and good report; " (2 Corinthians 6:3-8)
For their ministry, they were faithful to the character of God such as purity, patience, and kindness under serious troubles.
The Apostle Paul continues to disclose the secret of Christians, God's fellow workers.
"genuine, yet regarded as impostors; known, yet regarded as unknown; dying, and you welive on; beaten, and yet not killed; sorrowful, yet always rejocing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, yet possessing everything" (2 Corinthians 6:8-10)
The explanation of Paul is for Christian teachers.
We are servants of God and His fellow workers who should build these godly character in Christ.
Even though we are poor, we are rich since we make many studnets' lives rich in Christ.
God always says this to His fellow workers, teachers;
"I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people"(2 Corinthians 6:16)
God is the Father of all Christian teachers.
