THE TEACHER: Jesus said the Holy Spirit is the greatest Teacher of all. Heres why: (1) He will interact with you. When you are interested enough to ask questions, the learning process has really begun. Your questions dont bother God if they come from a hungry heart. Jesus said, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find... (Matt 7:7). Its okay to be inquisitive. God doesnt want you to be passive and just accept everything that comes into your life. He wants you to question Him so that you can find clarity and direction. (2) He wants to teach you how to live. That means showing up every day for class, and not just every once in a while. It means listening intently, taking notes, and doing the reading assignments youre given. It means trusting that the Teacher knows what Hes talking about, and that the knowledge youre receiving will equip you to go out and succeed in life. You may not see much value in what a teacher is telling you right now, or think it relates to you personally. Perhaps youre only interested in passing the test, graduating, and getting out of school. No, passing tests only proves youve a good memory, not that youve really learned! A good teachers goal is to create in you: (a) a hunger for knowledge; (b) an ability to seek out and understand things when he or she is no longer around; (c) A willingness to put what youve learned into practice. You say, How can I know Im truly learning? John answers, ...Continue to live in Christ, as [He] taught you.
