What Bible Teachers Can Learn from Jesus, the Master Teacher<\/h2>\n

Here are just three of the many lessons we can learn about teaching God’s Word from the Master Teacher:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. His Power Source:<\/strong>\u00a0 submission<\/em> to God as seen in His prayer life<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Jesus enveloped what He did with prayer.\u00a0 He prayed before, during, and after.\u00a0 “Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed” (Lk. 5:16).\u00a0 He made prayer a priority.\u00a0 He had purpose in praying.\u00a0 His disciples learned the value of prayer from His example.\u00a0 “One day Jesus was praying in a certain place.\u00a0 When He finished, one of His disciples said to Him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray'” (Lk. 11:1).<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. His Character:<\/strong>\u00a0 servanthood<\/em> as seen in His selfless acts of love for others<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Jesus laid aside His heavenly glory, “taking the very nature of a servant” (Phil. 2:7).\u00a0 “For even the Son of man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many” (Mk. 10:45).\u00a0 “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends” (Jn. 15:13).\u00a0 Jesus invested into the lives of His students.\u00a0 He did not merely teach lessons.<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. His Methodology:<\/strong>\u00a0 storytelling <\/em>as seen in His constant use of parables<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        While Jesus used a variety of methods, His primary means of reaching the masses was through parables (stories) as seen in Matthew 13:34-35 and Mark 4:33-34.\u00a0 Jesus used familiar objects and situations from their culture in stories to make connections.\u00a0 People were able to identify with the characters or situations which challenged them to want to understand more (Mk. 4:10) or make up their minds about what they would do with the Truth (Matt. 21:45-46).<\/span><\/p>\n
