One Teacher: The Christ!


Christ Jesus told us plainly that we have but one Teacher, the Christ.
(Matthew 23:10)

He said of the New Covenant:
I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts.
I will be their God and they will be my people.
No longer will a man teach his neighbor , or a man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' because they will all know me,
From the least of them to the greatest. (Jeremiah 31:33-34 NIV)

The apostle John said:
You have an anointing from the Holy One,
And all of you know the truth.(1 John 2:20)

As for you, the anointing you received from Him remains in you,
And you do not need anyone to teach you.
But as His anointing teaches you about all things
And as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—
Just as it has taught you remain in Him. (1 John 2:27)

Christ Jesus teaches us through His Anointing,
Through the Holy Spirit living inside of us.
What then has He taught us?

Seek first and above all else the Kingdom of God
And His righteousness,
Then, everything we have need of will be given to us. (Matthew 6:33)

He taught us to pray:
Father in Heaven, holy is Your Name
Your Kingdom come Your will be done on earth as in Heaven.
(Matthew 6:10)

If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself
And take up his cross and follow Me.
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it,
But whoever loses his life for Me will find it.
What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world,
Yet forfeits his soul? (Matthew 16:24-26)

This world is lost, helpless and hopeless.
The only hope anyone has is in Christ Jesus.
It is Christ in us our hope of glory and nothing else. (Colossians 1:27)

That is why Christ Jesus came.
He is the only Way, the only Truth and the only LIFE. (John 14:6)

Is He your Way, your Truth and your LIFE?
Do you seek first His Kingdom above all else?
Do you pray that His Kingdom will come
And His will be done on earth as in Heaven?
Have you taken up your cross to follow Him?

Have you maintained your first love for Christ Jesus,
Or are you lukewarm?

Are you on guard! Alert! (Mark 13:33)
Do you keep watch for the signs of the times and season?
If He comes suddenly, will He find you sleeping?
Christ Jesus is saying to all of us: “Watch!” (Mark 13:36-37)

As we watch the world fall apart before our very eyes
We need to draw near to our Savior;
We need to hear for ourselves
What the Spirit is saying to the church in this last hour.
We need to gather with those who have ears to hear
What the Spirit is saying to the church in this last hour.
In that there is hope!
