Here is an excerpt from a fantastic book I’m currently
reading…
“Jesus taught to change lives. In the educational system of
our day, we tend to think of teaching as the transfer of information. The
teacher pours information into the student like pouring water into an empty
jug, and the student is evaluated by one thing only: can he parrot back what
the teacher said?
“The number one question in any class is (if you’re a teacher
you know this), ‘Will this be on the final?’ We all take notes so we can
remember until the final exam.
“No one took notes when Jesus taught. Why? Because it is
natural to automatically remember what changes our lives. If you were around on
9/11 or when Present John Kennedy was assassinated or when Pearl
Harbor got attacked, you remember.”
From, “Who Is This Man?” – John Ortberg
