The Greatest Teacher

He never taught a lesson in a classroom…

He had no tools to work with, such as blackboards, maps or charts…

He used no subject outlines, kept no records, gave no grades, and His only test was ancient and well worn…

His students were the poor, the lame, the deaf, the blind, the outcast – and His method was the same with all who came to hear and learn…

He opened eyes with faith…

He opened ears with simple truth…

And opened hearts with love, a love of forgiveness…

A gentle man, a humble man, He asked and won no honors, no glad awards or tribute to His expertise or wisdom…

And yet this quiet teacher from the hills of Galilee has fed the needs, fulfilled the hopes, and changed the lives of many millions…

For what He taught brought heavens to earth and revealed God’s heart to mankind.

Lord may we follow in your footsteps and touch someone today.

May the sunshine of hope fill your heart and warm your touch.
