Jesus was a master teacher. Making use of parables and other creative tools for instruction, Jesus helped people grow in unprecedented ways. Remarkably, He was not only a model teacher, but also a model learner. While His early years only represent a small portion of Luke’s biography of Jesus, they offer tremendous insight about optimizing a college education and thriving as a lifelong learner.
