Illustration
A good teacher does not just hand you a textbook and walk away. A good teacher explains things, answers questions, and helps you understand. Jesus teaches us through his Word, and he sends the Holy Spirit to help us understand what we read.
Application
The next time you read or hear the Bible and something clicks, thank Christ for being your prophet. Ask the Holy Spirit to keep teaching you as you read God's Word this week.
