Taught
By the Lord
"All
your children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall
be the peace of your children" (1)
Jesus
was a teacher, preacher and healer, "And Jesus went about
all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel
of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all
kinds of disease among the people" (2)
Even
some of the rulers of the Jews recognized that Jesus was "a
teacher come from God" (3).
Jesus
applied these words to Himself when He said, "It is written
in the prophets, 'And they shall all be taught by God.' Therefore
everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to
Me" (4).
All who
will have the opportunity to learn from the Master Teacher.
Christ has even commissioned a "Helper" to teach
us all things, "These things I have spoken to you while
being present with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom
the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things,
and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you."
(5)
We may
learn all that is important and values to live by from our
Creator Himself. In the Bible He tells us where we came from,
why we are here, and where we are going, and why. He has revealed
the past, the future, and Himself to us, and His name is Jesus,
"a teacher come from God".
