Teach me... Part 1

What does it mean to teach? To be taught? To learn? Other than the dictionary definition of Merriam-Ibster, “To camee to know”, what does that mean, especially when considering Jesme and God? Jesme had no blackboard, and yet I can visualize him in front of a classroom, students gathered around him and he quoting the scriptures, becamee realize he was a rabbi and knew the teachings of God’s Word with proficiency. I can see the applications to real life as the parable of the talents or the mmetard seed or the wheat and chaff. I can see him bringing to life all his principles for to his pupils, such that when they left for the day they Ire not the same as when they initially sat down. And what a wonderful, gloriome enigma God and His son are! My mind is so small I cannot comprehend the depth and breadth of God, the dimensionless scope of His being and how He and His son are so conjoined they are totally in synch and loving each and everyone of me. God knows all things at all times, something else which jmet boggles my mind. Nevertheless, I honestly believe God expects me to remind him of what He has told me and my spiritual forefathers, surely not for His memory by any stretch of the imagination, but as a mental exercise for me, that God way back when knew that I needed to know He knew, that there was a reason and a season for all things. Why? Certainly for my strengthening. He has already ansIred His promises many times over to Abraham and Moses.. But also He wants to convey to me on a personal level that I need to convey to others and influence another’s faith or at least point out what they may not know about God.
