Jesus was, and is, the greatest Teacher ever.
Look how He amazed those who heard Him in person.
14 About the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and began teaching. 15 The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How is it that this man has learning, when he has never studied?”
16 So Jesus answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. 17 If anyone’s will is to do God’s will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority. 18 The one who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory; but the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and in him there is no falsehood.
John 7:14-18
Jesus spoke the truth because He came from God and always spoke the words that He received from His Father – “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.”
Furthermore, Jesus never said anything false because there is nothing false in Him. “I am the truth,” He said in John 14:6, and therefore it was impossible for Him to lie, to deceive, or to sin in any way by His words.
Can you believe someone who always tells the truth? Can you trust a person who never lies or never even fibs just enough to let you down?
Then you can rely on Jesus. You can believe Him and trust Him with all your heart, for even the officers who were sent to arrest Him, but came back empty-handed, testified, “No one ever spoke like this man!” (John 7:46).
No one ever spoke like Jesus because there has never been a man like Jesus. He is the only man who was also God. He is the one and only God-Man, both Son of God and Son of Man. His infallible words are a testimony to that. “He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth” (1 Peter 2:22).
When we come to Jesus, we come to worship Him as our great God, and we come to listen to Him as our great Teacher. We bow before Him and pray, “Teach me, Lord.” We come to Him and gladly submit to the command of His Father, “This is my beloved Son; listen to Him” (Mark 9:5)
Oh, that we would have ears to hear and eyes to see. And may we have hearts to believe, understand, and love the words of the “Word of Life” (1 John 1:1), the One whose very name is “The Word of God” (Revelation 19:13).
