John 7:16
John 7:16
Jesus answered, My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me.
John 7:16 shows Jesus' humility and the source of His teaching. When asked about His authority, He declares that His teaching is not His own but comes from the one who sent Him—the Father. This verse points to the ultimate source of all true teaching: God Himself. Jesus, in His earthly ministry, constantly pointed others to the Father as the source of His wisdom and authority. For believers, this is a powerful reminder that all wisdom and knowledge come from God, and it is His authority that grants truth its power. Jesus' teaching, though divine, was delivered with humility, and this example calls us to seek God’s guidance in all things.
Matthew 5:2
And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
2 Timothy 2:2
And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
Proverbs 10:14
The wise lay up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool brings ruin near.
Matthew 28:20
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
