JESUS, OUR TEACHER

As we read the Bible, we soon learn that Jesus was the greatest teacher of all time. He taught not only by words, but by example by the way He lived. Jesus used simple illustrations to teach the truth He was revealing to the world. These illustrations or stories are called parables. Jesus based his lessons on what the people already knew. He used what they were familiar with. He was our Master Teacher. Let's listen and learn the great lesson of life from him.
