Quick question: Who's the person who's shaped you the most? Maybe it was a teacher who saw something in you before you saw it in yourself. Maybe it was a coach who pushed you harder than you thought you could go. Maybe it was a parent who patiently (and repeatedly) pointed you in the right direction.

Whoever it was, their influence probably wasn’t just about what they knew—it was about how much they cared.

Without further adieu, let's dig into our latest blog post!

Teacher
|
|
One of the most positively influential people in an individual's life is a teacher, whether an instructor at school, parents at home, or a coach for their sport. But this teacher wasn't a positive influence simply because he or she knew a lot of information. They were a good teacher because they had the good of the student in mind.

What an honor! Jesus, the visible image of the invisible God, invites you to let Him be your teacher. And not just because He is so intelligent as God Incarnate. He knows His teaching is for your good. You, as a human, were made in His image, so He knows how life was meant to be lived. And He took on human flesh, so you could see how life was to be lived.

But how do you learn from Him?
|
1. Through Scripture
|
God teaches us through His Word what it looks like to live like Jesus and love like Jesus.
|
2. Through Prayer
|
Prayer should not be just one-way communication. When you talk with God, ask Him to show you His will.
|
3. Through Others
|
Another great way to learn from Christ is through His people, especially those who are more knowledgeable than you.
|
4. Through Action
|
Knowledge isn't truly learned until it is applied. So when Scripture calls you to worship God wholeheartedly, sacrifice selflessly, and serve others joyfully, you need to not just talk about it, but truly live it.
