The concept of mentoring is something that is being explored in many circles. Basically, mentoring means getting alongside someone to bring out the best in him by giving advice based on our own experience.
The concept of mentoring can be found in Scripture. In the Old Testament, parents are expected to be spiritual mentors to their children. "Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the door-frames of your houses and on your gates" (Deuteronomy 6:7-9).
What is true for biological parents is also true for spiritual ones. The apostle Paul refers to himself and his team of God's servants as spiritual parents. "Just as a nursing mother cares for her children, so we cared for you. Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well . . . For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, encouraging, comforting and urging you into his kingdom and glory" (1 Thessalonians 2:7-8, 11-12).
Life is not just to be lived for ourselves, but for others, and living for others involves not just Christian service, but also mentoring the next generation. Older Christians have an important responsibility to mentor younger ones, especially in their local churches. Are we doing it? I suspect that very little of this is going on. There may be occasional conversations about spiritual matters, but even this is often missing in interaction between the old and young.
Think also of those who are your "Timothys" or who could be such. What concrete steps can you take to initiate or continue these mentoring relationships?
Perhaps seniors may say that they were never mentored themselves; thus they find it difficult to mentor others due to a lack of experience. They may have attended classes or seminars on spiritual growth, but that is not quite the same as mentoring, which is often a one-to-one, intentional process, and very personal in nature.
But even though a senior may not have been mentored before, he or she can still learn to do it for two reasons.
Firstly, we are all called to be apprenticed to Jesus, who invites us to learn from Him. He opens Scriptures to us (see Luke 24:13-35) and walk with us. Through His Spirit, He guides and disciples us. So, in one sense, we cannot say that we have not been mentored before, if we are followers of Christ.
Second, we can study Scripture and learn from good examples of mentoring, like how Jesus trained His disciples, and how people like Paul mentored younger men like Timothy and Titus. We can also read the many books that have been written on mentoring.Picture posted by Marg on 11 September 2018
