HE WAS A TEACHER!
Our Lord Jesus=was the
SON OF GOD=and he was
A TEACHER
He came to be the
WORD MADE FLESH=
And to TEACH us about God
With DIVINE AUTHORITY=
And Mary Magdalene
Was his most PRIZED STIDENT
“The people were astonished
With his TEACHING
For he taught them
As one having authority
And not as the scribes” Mark 1:22
I have heard some
PRETTY AMAZING TEACHERS
About God in my life
But NONE so great
As Jesus himself=and his words
From the BIBLE
And his fantastic PARABLES
HE WAS A TEACHER!
“The student
Is not above=THE TEACHER=
Nor a servant
Above his master” Matthew 10:24
“But you are not
To be called 'rabbi'
For you
Have ONE TEACHER
And you are all brothers” Matthew 23:8
“In fact
Though by this time=
You ought to be A TEACHER
You need someone
TO TEACH YOU
The elementary truths of
GOD'S WORD all over again
You need milk=
Not solid food” Hebrews 5:12
Jesus' teachings are so DEEP-
SO TRUE
His words-ideas-and connections
Make their way
Down to the RECESSES
Of our hearts and souls
When we read JESUS' TEACHINGS=
We can LEARN to be
Teachers too
But Jesus' authority was so
MUCH GREATER
Than even the seasoned teachers
His words and PARABLES
And teachings=touch us
Deep down in our HEARTS=
His teachings
Were ROOTED IN DIVINITY
“For since the creation
Of the world=
GOD'S invisible qualities--------
His eternal power and DIVINE NATURE--------
Have been clearly seen
Being understood
From what has been made
So that people=are without excuse” Romans 1:20
Jesus' teachings are DIVINE=
He is the greatest
HUMAN TEACHER of all time
His PREPARATION for his ministry
Was nurtured =by his time=with the SPIRIT
In the desert
When we are in
Our spiritual desert
We can only HOPE TO EMERGE
With a fraction of the
TEACHINGS AND AUTHORITY
That Jesus had
HE WAS A TEACHER!=
He is our teacher EVEN TODAY
In Jesus' name=and in the name of our ever DIVINE TEACHING FATHER!
