The Technical BitEstablish the Definition of Master


“MASTER”Di daska los - NounFrom G1321; an instructor (generally or specifically):

G1321 – “TO TEACH”Di dasko - VerbA prolonged (causative) form of a primary verb δαω dao (to learn); to teach

The Title and Role “Master” is all about TEACHING


IMPORTANT!!!

1) Because the OT term “Master” is translated from the Hebrew “Adon”(Lord)

And2) Because some (very few) occurrences of NT “Kurios” (Lord) are

translated “Master”

We often make a mistake and Assume that the NT “Master” is about a master/slave relationship

IT IS NOT!!!!!


IMPORTANT!!!

The NT Master title/ role is about a TEACHER/LEARNER relationship

In the NT...............

Greek - Kurios/Doolos = Lord/Slave relationshipandDidaskolos/Mathete = Master/Disciple = Teacher/Learner


The Lord was a TEACHER who TAUGHT Disciples

A Disciple is a Math etes – a Learner of knowledge

Mat 10:24 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord. Mat 10:25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?

DISCIPLE - G3101mathetesFrom G3129; a learner, that is, pupil: - disciple.


- A Master is about Teaching- A Disciple is about Learning

- Therefore a Master and Disciple go together

Let’s Summarise

- The Role is inherently relationship based

5 Pivotal Elements of the Role and Title


Key One

Jesus was the first DiscipleAndthe first Apostle


Key Two

Jesus Is the only Master

All other teaching is done in his name


Act 5:40 .........and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. Act 5:41 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. Act 5:42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.


Luk 24:47 .......repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.


Key Three

Preaching and Teaching


Act 5:42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.


Act 28:30 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him, Act 28:31 Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.


Mat 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.

Mat 9:35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.

Mat 11:1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.


Gospel = Ev - angel- eeon

Message (“Angel”)Good

Preach = kerussoto herald (as a public crier),


Mat 5:1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples (Mathetes) came unto him: Mat 5:2 And he opened his mouth, and taught (didasko) them, saying,

Act 1:1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,


Rev 1:2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

Rev 1:3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. Rev 22:8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which showed me these things.


Act 22:13 Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him. Act 22:14 And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth. Act 22:15 For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.

Key Five

Two reactions:

Forsake and Follow


Forsake and Follow(Mat 4:20) And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.

(Mat 4:22) And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him

(Mat 19:27) Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?


Forsake and FollowLuk 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

Luk 14:27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

Luk 14:33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

“The Master”


Mat 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

Mat 16:25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.


Rev 14:1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Zion, and with him a hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. Rev 14:2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: Rev 14:3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, .......

Rev 14:4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

Rev 14:5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

Rev 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel (eualangeo – good news) to preach (evangelise)unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Rev 14:7 Saying with a loud (Mega)voice (phonay), Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

The Greek word “Mathetes” for Disciple occurs 273X in Matt,mk,luke,jhn,actsAnd never again. 75,46,39,82,31

In other words, there is a change in the way scripture presents him

Pivotal Concepts-The First Source is - “as My Father taught me” Jhn 8:28- A “Master” means “Teacher” NOT Lord ( a very different role)-There is ONE Teacher and all subsequent teaching is “in his name” Matt 23:8-10, Acts 5:40-42-The Teacher role goes with the “Disciple” role which is Mathetes(Gk) and means “A learner”. They both must be understood together-There are two key elements to the Teachers work at his first advent - to Preach (Herald) and to Teach (Educate)-This work of Teacher revolved two key elements : the things he SAID ( and thus Heard) and the things he DID (Thus Seen)-The two key reactions of all “Mathetes” (Disciples) are to 1)“ forsake” and 2) “follow”-The full process is: Sent - Preach – Hear – Forsake – Follow – Taught - Do-The 12 D became the 12 A as a pattern of all disciples – in aggregate the founding of new Jerusalem and a “nation” of 12 tribes-The work of Apostelo (those sent as Angelos “Messengers”) was to “Witness” (Matureo) of the things SEEN and HEARD-The work of “Teacher” is frequently associated with water, sea, fish, nets and boats in the gospels so that the Galilee area serves as a symbolic microcosm of evangelising the entire world

Joh 17:1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:

Joh 17:2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

Joh 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

Joh 17:4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

Joh 17:5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

Joh 17:6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.

Joh 17:7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. Joh 17:8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. Joh 17:9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. Joh 17:10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. Joh 17:11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. Joh 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
