HEED THE TEACHER

TUITALA KI HE FAIAKO´

Beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.

LUKE 24:27

Pea ne kamata mei he ngaahi tohi ‘a Mōsese, mo e kau Palōfita kātoa pē, ‘o ne faka‘uhinga mei he Tohi tapu kātoa ‘a e ngaahi me‘a na‘e kau kiate ia.

LUKE 24:27

 

Sola Scriptura - Scripture Alone - Ko e Folofola´ pe    

The two disciples on the road to Emmaus had a most profitable journey. Their Companion and Teacher was the best of tutors; the Interpreter one of a thousand, in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. The Lord Jesus condescended to become a Preacher of the Gospel, and He was not ashamed to exercise His calling before an audience of two persons, neither does He now refuse to become the Teacher of even one. Let us court the company of so excellent an Instructor, for till He is made unto us wisdom we shall never be wise unto salvation.

This unrivalled Tutor used as His class-book the best of books. Although able to reveal fresh truth, He preferred to expound the old. He knew by His omniscience what was the most instructive way of teaching, and by turning at once to Moses and the prophets, He showed us that the surest road to wisdom is not speculation, reasoning, or reading human books, but meditation upon the Word of God.
