THE MASTER INSTRUCTS

KO E FAIAKO ‘A E TIUTA LAHI´ 

MATTHEW 4:19

“Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.”

 

MATIU 4:19

Pea pehē ‘e ia kiate kinaua, “Mo omi ‘o muimui ‘iate au, pea te u ngaohi kimoua ko e ongo toutai tangata”.

 

Sola Scriptura - Scripture Alone - Ko e Folofola´ pe    

A follower may follow blindly and hear a great deal which he does not understand; but when he becomes a disciple, his Master instructs him, and leads him into truth. To explain, to expound, to solve difficulties, to clear away doubts, and to make truth intelligible is the office of a teacher amongst his disciples.

Now, it was a very blessed thing for the followers to become disciples, but still disciples are not necessarily so intimate with their Master as to sit and eat with Him. My brethren, if Jesus had but called us to be His disciples, and no more we should have had cause for great thankfulness; if we had been allowed to sit at His feet, and had never shared in such an entertainment as that before us, we ought to have been profoundly grateful; but now that He has favoured us with a yet higher place, let us never be unfaithful to our discipleship. Let us daily learn of Jesus, let us search the Bible to see what it was that He taught us, and then by the aid of His Holy Spirit let us scrupulously obey.
