Jesus' Love - Teaching

After His birth, probably the earliest recording we have about Jesus' life was when he was found teaching in the temple at 12 years old. In fact, Jesus spent much of His adult life teaching, usually through parables. He taught us Gospel principles, commandments, and some doctrine. Jesus' teachings help us by showing us what paths to follow, what pitfalls to avoid, and how we can return to live with our Heavenly Father in ultimate happiness. Jesus' teachings are manifestations of His love because they show that He cares about our welfare. His teachings show that He cares what path we follow, which means He cares where we end up, which shows that He wants us to be happy. If that's not love, what is?

I'm glad Jesus loved us enough to not only open the way for us, but to also teach us what the right way is. Because He loves us, Jesus opened the way for us, and also because He loves us, He also taught us the way.
