 names of Jesus: Teacher by ric gustafson


The Teacher came to seek and to save the lost. The Teacher only did this through his death and resurrection. The Teacher taught us what his Father is truly like. In this sinful world is violence, injustice and every kind of wrong.
The Teacher performed miracles. The Teacher taught those who would listen. The Teacher used stories to teach those who could understand. He used language and characters people could understand.
What the Teacher taught, he lived it. He revealed his Father God the Father.
So who is the Teacher?. It is Jesus Christ whom I love.
