 | Was Jesus a good teacher? |
The New Testament Bible suggests that Jesus was a very good teacher. He taught words of life, the Word of God. Thus He was the teacher of teachers. Jesus taught the words that His heavenly Father gave Him to speak. He did not speak His own thoughts only but He spoke the Words the Father gave Him to speak. We see this in the New Testament Gospel of John, chapter 17. Jesus taught words of life, the Word of God. Thus He was the teacher of teachers. Sometimes the things that Jesus taught offended people because they revealed the depth of wrong thinking in their hearts. In the New Testament Gospel of John chapter 6, verse 66, some people turned back from following Him because they found His sayings hard. Jesus often said, “Let him who has ears hear.” This spoke of the inner understanding. We can have ears but not hear what Jesus is saying. He also taught often in parables, relating truth to the people’s way of life or tradition. Sometimes He explained the parables, such as in the New Testament Gospel of Matthew chapter 13. Other times He did not explain. Many people consider Jesus to be the finest teacher that ever existed. His teachings can be found in the New Testament Bible. Many people still follow Jesus teachings today. By: Editors Category: What does giving gifts at Christmas mean? |

 | Did Jesus sometimes lie? |
No, Jesus never lied. He was, and is, the personification of truth and does not lie. If He had lied, He could not have been sinless and His death on the cross could not have paid for our sins. There is nothing in the New Testament Bible to suggest Jesus ever lied. On the contrary, since He obeyed His heavenly Father, we believe He did not lie. Jesus sometimes called the Pharisees and religious leaders who did not believe in Him as being liers, from the father of lies, the devil. As God’s son, and without sin, Jesus did not lie. Jesus had no sin of His own and therefore He did not lie. By: Editors Category: What does giving gifts at Christmas mean? (3) Comments |

 | Did Jesus teach that children should remain silent? |
We see nothing in the New Testament Bible to suggest Jesus taught that children should remain silent. The character of love and compassion that Jesus displayed would suggest that He understood they needed to laugh, play, sing and would never have taught they should be confined to silence. This is what we know about Jesus with regards to children: Jesus loved children. At one time some children wanted to come to Him and the disciples (Jesus’s close followers) rebuked them and turned them away. Jesus said this of children in the New Testament Gospel of Mark: “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.” (Mark 10:14, NKJV). In the New Testament Gospel of Matthew, Jesus said this of children: “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kindom of heaven. And whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives me” (Matthew 18: 3, 4, 5, NKJV). When Jesus healed Jairus’s daughter, and brought her back to life when she was dead, He immediately asked for food for her. He loves children and cares for them deeply.
