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 only text was ancient and worn.


His students were the poor, the lame, the deaf, the blind, the outcast. 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 born of forgiveness


A gentle many, ah humble man, he asked for 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 met the needs, fulfilled hte hopes, and changed the lives of many millions.


For what he taught brought heaven to earth and revealed
God's heart to mankind.
