One of the greatest teachers in God’s  word is Adam, and one of the most outstanding spiritual leaders in the bible that did not leave anything undone is Jesus Christ (Yeshua) our Lord.

Now, what is the difference between a teacher and a leader?

Adam taught Abel, his son , how to please God and he also gave him information about the things that God likes and the things that God dislikes, but yet he himself was not fully abiding to what he was teaching.

He had a weakness that he had not completely surrendered to God, but still, he was a good teacher.

For example: when I was still in school we had a teacher that used to teach us about health, and one of the topics I remember him teaching was about  smoking.

He used to quote a statement that goes like this; Smoking is bad, it is not good for your health, because every cigarette you smoke will reduce (take away) four seconds of your life and even destroy your lungs, and as a result of your smoking , you will get a cough that will gradually kill you.

But you know what? this teacher himself was a chain smoker, students in our class used to catch him smoking behind the toilet walls.

Yes he was a good teacher but a bad leader.
