The Lesson Learned

“Jesus told us in His Word that if we know the Truth, the Truth will set us free. Jesus came to set us free from bondage to sin and death and God has given us His eternal Word to teach us the way. We are the losers if we neglect such a high calling.” BHY

“We can find everything we need to know about God in the pages of the Bible. So if you want to know God, then you need to open, read, study, and apply what the Bible teaches. Success or failure in the Christian life is determined by how much of the Word of God we get into our lives on a regular basis and how obedient we are to it.” Greg Laurie

“We follow not a dead, revered teacher but rather a risen Lord who is actually with us.” Tim Keller

“Thou hast made me, be pleased to new-make me. I am thy work, complete me; I am thy harp, tune me; I am thy child, teach me.” Charles H. Spurgeon

“He alone has exhibited a life in which absolutely no fault could be found; and promulgated a teaching to which absolutely no exception can be taken. Admittedly He is the One perfect Man – the ideal of humanity, His doctrine the one absolute teaching. The world has known none other, none equal.” Alfred Edersheim

“The most radical social teaching of Jesus was His total reversal of the contemporary notion of greatness.” Richard Foster

“Jesus is the great teacher of lowliness of heart. Witness the Master taking a towel and washing His disciples' feet! Isn't it true to say that on earth He was always stripping off first one robe of honor and then another until, naked, He was fastened to the cross and emptied Himself, pouring out His lifeblood, giving it up for all of us, until they laid Him penniless in a borrowed grave?” C. H. Spurgeon

“While in the Old Testament the mediating roles of prophet, priest and king were fulfilled by separate individuals, all three offices now coalesce in the One Person of Jesus. It is His glory given Him by the Father, to be in this way the all sufficient Savior. We who believe are called to understand this and to show ourselves His people by obeying Him as our King, trusting Him as our Priest and learning from Him as our Prophet and Teacher. To center on Jesus Christ in this way is the hallmark of authentic Christianity.” J.I. Packer

“He who has Christ’s Spirit will find in His teaching a hidden manna.” Thomas a Kempis

“The core of all that Jesus teaches about the kingdom is the immediate apprehension and acceptance of God as King in his own life.” T. W. Manson

“Who among us does not need grace? Who among us does not long for merciful loving-kindness? Who among us does not need forgiveness? Every morning get up and teach yourself the Gospel – we all are sinners in need of a Savior – and be ever so thankful that we have One.” BHY
