JESUS THE TEACHERJESUS THE TEACHER

He never taught a lesson in the classroom..

He had no tools to work with

Such as blackboards, maps or charts.......

He used no subject outlines,

Kept no records, gave no grades,

And his only text was ancient and well worn.....

His students were poor, the lame, and the deaf, the blind, the outcast his method was the same with all who came to hear and learn....

He opened eyes with faith.....

He opened ears with simple truth....

And opened hearts with love,

A love born of forgiveness.....

A gentle man, a humble man,

He asked and won no honors,

No gold awards of tribute of his expertise or wisdom........

And yet this quiet teacher from the hills of Galilee

Has fed the needs, fulfilled the hopes…

And changed the lives of many millions......

For what he taught heaven to earth

And revealed God’s heart to humankind!
