The Bible tells us that Jesus taught as one who has authority. What this means is not that he was a graduate of the Faculty of Education, but rather that he taught as one who was caught up in the experience of God's Spirit, conveying the fullness of God's character. He taught his followers a new and different way of seeing the world. Today he invites us also into a new vision of life, one that is centered in the love, grace and mercy of God.
