We see this play out in 1 Corinthians 4:14-17 Paul in a relationship with Corinth. In fact, he says he is their father. He is saying look I taught you, I gave you the information you need. Now I am sending Timothy and you need to imitate him in what you do and how you act. Which is who you are in Jesus. This idea of relational ministry is not new take a look at Jesus disciples and dealings with others. Jesus taught all the time (Sermon on the mount, feeding the five thousand, and many more.) Even in Luke 10:37 he tells an expert in the law to “Go and do likewise” when teaching the parable of the Good Samaritan. Jesus tells his disciples and us to do what he did go and talk with people, teaching them, show them, and let them go.
