Today, we will discuss the teachings that Jesus gave to his disciples. Jesus loved his disciples, and he taught them about the kingdom of heaven so that they would know the truth. He was on earth for forty days after his resurrection and gave his disciples knowledge about many things that would happen in the future.
He used many parables so that they would understand better. He taught them about the importance of love and the need to forgive and about sin and salvation.
He told his disciples about faith and the miracles that they could do with faith. He taught his disciples how to pray and also taught them the importance of prayer.
Among all the teachings of Jesus, the Sermon on the Mount is the most important. These teachings are still very valuable for our lives today.
Jesus taught us how to fast and pray, and how we can see the glory of God through this fasting and prayer. Jesus told his disciples how to use the money of this world. The wisdom he gave his disciples about the use of money is still applicable to us today.
Jesus said that no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is humble and meek. He didn’t just say it with his mouth. He washed the feet of his disciples, showing that unless one humbles oneself, one cannot enter the kingdom of God.
He commanded his disciples to go into all the world and preach the gospel to all nations and baptize them.
Jesus did not tell his disciples to preach as such, but he taught all the things that we find in the Bible today. Since we are also followers of Jesus, we should learn about all the things that Jesus taught his disciples.
Let’s look at the following Bible verses where Jesus discusses teaching his disciples.
