Arnie and Fred continue their discussion of Jesus being the master teacher and the Bible passages that teach this. In the last episode we ended with what Jesus said about Christians being the light of the world. Our light, our righteous actions, must be seen, not just heard of. We looked at what Peter said about the suffering that we go through sometimes because of our faithful living. John notes how we ought to walk, and we discussed what he meant by that. Paul pointed out to both the brethren in Corinth and Philippi the importance of following the right examples. We look at those passages. These actions are needed in order for us to be effective teachers of the gospel. We move on to look at Jesus' development under the guidance of His parents in the unimpressive village of Nazareth. We note that there is very little information about His educational development. We do point out that it was customary for boys to attend the village synagogue school till the age of 15. We also note that Jesus did not have the benefit of a formal education with a renowned teacher like Paul did. We talk about some of the times the well-educated were offended by the wisdom that Jesus displayed, who could not understand how He possessed such, being a carpenter's son from Nazareth. We look at passages that show Jesus could both read and write. We complete this episode by beginning to discuss Jesus' ability to move multitudes with His teaching, even though He had no formal training as a speaker. We will complete this item in the next episode. Take about 30-minutes to listen in on our discussion. Have your Bible handy so you can verify what we are saying.
