One of the most common titles Jesus was referred to in the Gospels is "teacher". I was thinking about this I took a walk through the park. Of course Jesus was a great teacher, in fact He taught as "One with authority and not as their scribes." I don't think anyone would argue that fact today, because we know that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God. I wonder, though, if people still see Jesus as a great teacher. When was the last time you asked Jesus to teach you something? Jesus wasn't just a great teacher of the past. Jesus still has so much to teach us.
I thought the following line could be added to our daily prayers: Jesus, teach me Your ways. Then when you review your day, search for those moments Jesus has touched your life. Jesus is a great teacher, but the real question is "Have you been a great student?" Good thing for us, Jesus is always willing to let us re-do a lesson and correct our mistakes.
