There are many ways to sum
up the focus of Jesus' time on earth. One verse that can sum up His ministry is
in Matthew 4:23, "[Jesus] went
throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel
of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction among the people."
He focuses on three things: teaching,
preaching and healing. Since teaching is educating the mind and preaching is
educating the heart, 2/3 or about 67% of Jesus' ministry was education.
If you read throughout the
Scripture, you'll find that when Jesus healed people, nine times out of ten
(9/10 or 90%) He educated and commanded them about an attitude change (another
aspect of repentance) or a new way of behaving that was to go along with their
physical healings. For example, in John 8:11, Jesus said, "Go and sin no more." Although the
main point of this verse is to show His authority and lordship, it also gives
us a clue that Jesus was very serious about educating the people. Sir Willian
Ramsey boldly claimed: "Christianity
is the religion of an educated mind."
As leaders, we must put
high priority to educate those under our leadership such as employees, workers
and followers. A person who becomes a
leader today and stops learning tomorrow is uneducated the day after. Never
stop growing and educating others so that they may grow better and effective.
Organized monthly training, send people to beneficial seminars, and spent money
on personal development for self and others under your leadership. Horace Mann
speaks about the importance of education this way, "A human being is not, in any proper sense, a human being until he is
educated." That's also true for leaders!
Jesus educated people, are you?
