He never taught a lesson in a classroom
He had no tools to work with
such as blackboards, maps or charts,
He used no subject outlines, kept no records,
gave no grades, and his text was ancient and well-worn,
His students were the poor, the lame,
the deaf, the blind, the outcasts...
and his method was the same with all
who came to hear and learn.
He opened eyes with faith,
He opened ears with simple truth,
and opened hearts with love,
a love borne of forgiveness.
A gentle man, a humble man.
He asked and won no honors,
No gold awards of tribute to his expertise
or wisdom.
And yet, this quiet Teacher from the hills of Galilee,
has filled the needs, fulfilled the hopes,
and changed the lives of many millions,
For what He taught brought Heaven to earth,
and revealed God's heart to mankind.
