Jesus the Teacher of truth

Many people try to historically dispute the person of Jesus of Nazareth. The aim of this paper is to find contrary claims in the Scriptures to prove that Jesus is the eternal Teacher. This implies that Jesus’ mission has not come to end with his mission on Earth. In the first part of the paper, we will explain the Old and New Testaments’ meanings of a teacher. This will be followed with stating the differences between Jesus’ teaching and the teaching of the scribes and Pharisees. The aim of this is to prove the historicity of Jesus of Nazareth. In the second part of the paper, we will deal with the consideration of truth and connect the concepts of authenticity and truth. The eternal teacher of the Truth with his teaching frees those who accept him and encourages them to change their hearts and lives. His teaching transcends time and space boundaries. In comparison to the teachers of this world, Jesus is an authentic teacher who lives all that he teaches as example for his disciples of his communion with his Father. The teaching of Jesus is different from the Jewish teaching, as well as from any other teaching. Jesus as teacher of teachers provides an example of learning, especially in situations of temptation. As a teacher, Jesus has a unique “educational plan” - the doctrine of God’s kingdom and His teaching methods have a strong effect on students.
