Teacher

“The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.” (John 3:2)

Names of God 

God has many names and titles in the Bible. Each one tells us something important about Him—His character and how He relates to us. And how we must relate to Him. Here is another one of His many Names, which is Teacher.

Jesus is teacher 

Sixty times Jesus was called Teacher in the gospels. This was the word the multitudes used. This was how the disciples referred to him. Jesus himself used the term when he said, “You call me Teacher and Lord, and rightly so, for that is what I am” (John 13:13). When Nicodemus came to Jesus by night, he said, “We know that you are a teacher who has come from God.” (John 3:2)

Jesus taught with authority

Matthew said the crowds were amazed at his teaching because “he taught as one having authority, not as the teachers of the law” (Matt. 7:29). The rabbis only quoted each other, but Jesus spoke the true and authoritative words of God.

Therefore

His deep understanding and love of truth moved Jesus to fill the needs of others so that they too could hear His message, and He was resolved to teach it as effectively as possible.

“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and l we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” ( John 1:14 ESV)

“For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment what to say and what to speak. And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say,  therefore, I say as the Father Has told me.” (John 12:49-50 ESV)
