Jesus As Teacher
Jesus was an influential teacher who used various styles and methods to convey messages and lessons. As a rabbi, he taught through sermons, parables, and performed miracles. Some of his most famous parables include the Lost Son and Good Samaritan, which used familiar images and stories to illustrate moral lessons. Jesus also performed remarkable miracles involving nature, healing illnesses and injuries, and exorcising demons to prove his divine authority.
