Jesus is our supreme teacher. In this section in John 7, we see Jesus as the fearless teacher who calls people to obedience to God, a teacher who always sought to glorify the Father and whose motives are unmixed, who can be trusted, who alone can be described as true and in whom there is no unrighteousness. How precious is our Lord who is also our supreme Teacher. May we live faithfully as His disciples, who give Him our supreme attention and obedience.

But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and began to teach. The Jews then were astonished, saying, “How has this man become learned, having never been educated?” So Jesus answered them and said, “My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me. If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know of the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself. He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
