One of the songs in our hymnal compels us to know, think and speak “more about Jesus.” The scriptures speak of preachers who “taught them Jesus.” In order for us to speak to others about this subject, we must know and think more about Him ourselves. Class room teachers have a saying, “You can’t teach a subject you know nothing about.” Together, let’s learn so that we can tell others about a savior they don’t know yet.

Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him Master.

John 13:13 ~ “You call me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am.”

He had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher.

John 3:2 ~ “This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.”

He had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer/Physician.

Acts 10:38 ~ “…how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.”

He had no army, yet kings feared Him

John 18:36 ~ “Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.”

He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world.

1 Tim. 3:16 ~ “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:

God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels,

Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory.”

He committed no crime, yet they put Him to death.

Matthew 27:24 ~ “When Pilate saw that he could not prevail at all, but rather that a tumult was rising, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, ‘I am innocent of the blood of this just Person. You see to it.”

He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.

Rom 6:9 ~ “Knowing this, that Christ being raised from the dead dies no more; death has no more dominion [power] over Him.”

By today’s standards He was a failure.  He never had an earthly family to carry on His name, nor is there any mention that He owned real estate. In fact, He was buried in a borrowed tomb. He didn’t brag or boast about His heavenly possessions, nor did He use His power for His own good when He clearly could have. Instead, He used His power to feed and heal others.

Christian men and women are carrying His message to foreign lands where some have never heard the story of Jesus. Churches that bear His name are springing up even in the former Soviet Union, where just to carry a bible was a violation of law and carried with it serious consequences. Don’t you feel honored to serve such a Leader who loves us like this?
