Master Teacher
Lesson for April 8, 1860

DEOPLE WHO knew Jesus of
L Nazareth thought of him as a
teacher. Jesus thought of himself
as a teacher. The title given him
most often in the Gospels is
Teacher. When he rose from the
dead and Mary Magdalene recog-
nized him, she called him Rabboni,

Why PARALLELS

Jesus favorite method was the
parable or story-form. He would
tell some simple story, but his lis
teners - some of them would
understand that what the Teacher
was aiming to get across was not
the story itself but some truth or
idea or warning wrapped up in the
story. Mark tells us why Jesus used
this method: is was not to make
truth easier to understand, but
harderl Does this make sense? It
does indeed; but only the patient
and persistent seekers for truth
find it out.

Jesus Theme

When we hear that some one is
a teacher, the first thing we ask,
if we are interested, is: What does
he teach? Jesus great theme, his
subject, was a tremendous one:
LIFE. One reason why he is called
the Master Teacher is that his
theme was the most important, the
most all-inclusive, in the world. We
can make this more definite. We
can put this in three ways. l. Jesus
taught about Life in the Kingdom
of God, or to put this another way,
he taught what it means to be a
citizen of the Kingdom of God, or
to say it still another way he
taught what kind of behavior God
requires of those who want to live
in his kingdom. 2 Jesus taught
about Life as God wills it. Every
body lives somehow, or at least
exists; and if you look about you,

ings to be taken seriously. "Why

not do what tell you?" he asked.
duke 6:46) A man who hears
Jesus sayings and does not do
them, is like a man building a
house on sand Matt. 1920. 1.-The

or if you viii be square with your
self, you can see great many
people living to please themselves
and never giving thought to what
God thinks of them and their
doings. That is as stupid as pigs
taking over farm and running it
to suit the pigs. One would think
it only common sense to try to find
what Gods will is, and live by that
light. The natural question is: Who
can tell us what Gods will is? The
Christian answer is: Jesus has
shown us the will of God. And if
the next question is: How do we
know that Jesus was right? we
have Jesus answer: IF any mans
will is to do His [God'sl will, he
shall know whether the teaching
is from God" In other words, try
it and see! 8. Jesus taught about
Life at its best. For that is pre-
cisely what it is to live by Gods
pattern, it is to discover wat life
can really be at it's highest level.
Jesus Methods
Jesus had various ways of teach
ing, but they can all be boiled down
to two. One was a straightforward
statement in plain language. More
often, however, he taught by par
ables, or as we would say today,
by story-illlstrations. For this rea-
son the next three months in this
series are going to be devoted to
the Sermon on the Mount, which
is mostly the first method, and to
the parallels, or some typical par
ables. The first method is direct.
Jesus will come up with state
ment that surprises the ear, Shocks
the mind, wakes up the careless
listener and sends him on his way
(sometimes) wishing he could for
get what the Teacher said, it
makes him so uncomfortable. Some
of these direct statements are very
plain, others are very puzzling.
"Woe unto you when all men speak
well of you" is one of these. At first
that sounds all wrong, and yet
when you null over it while you
can see how right it is.
