Mark 10:1 And the crowd s gathered around Jesus; and-as was his custom-he taught them.

We forget that everybody called Jesus “Rabbi” which means “teacher.” We forget that he spent a lot of time teaching. How else would people understand the things he did? How would they know what to expect after he was gone from them? How would they begin to comprehend who he was? Somebody had to teach them, and us, all of these things. The ministry of teaching is the foundation of everything else.
