How Jesus Learned

It is easy to write about all of the things that Jesus did - his compelling methods, his perfect ways or the astonishing miracles. But my focus has been on who Christ is. I learned alot about learning this week. Concerning Jesus, the author writes: 'whose learning is the learning of a pure heart and an enlightened eye and a blameless life.' Jesus was pure. He was the holy. No fault could be found in him. And while he did not spend hour after hour and year after year learning from the scribes in the temple, his knowledge and wisdom surpassed that of those who were around him - even the educated scribes and pharisees. To me, Jesus is the ultimate example. His life was led by purity, not by duty. Today I long to have the same purity as Christ. Purity was not something he owned, or kept, or shared, purity was something he lived. More can be learned from setting your life apart for God than any ammount of books to read or classes to attend. There is a longing in my spirit to learn the way Christ learned, and to live the way Christ loved, so that I can be Christ in this poor, shattered world.
