Daily Devotions: Jesus the Teacher - February 24, 2026

Mark 10:1 (NLT) - “Then Jesus left Capernaum and went down to the region of Judea and into the area east of the Jordan River. Once again crowds gathered around him, and as usual he was teaching them.” Mark 6:34 (NLT) - “Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.” Have you ever noticed that one of the most common titles given to Jesus in Scripture is Rabbi or Rabboni, meaning Teacher? People did not primarily call Him Healer or Miracle Worker. They called Him Teacher because that is what He spent most of His time doing. As we see throughout the Book of Mark, Jesus’ usual response to crowds was teaching. He understood something often forgotten today: if you truly want to help people, you teach them. You do not control them, make decisions for them, or simply entertain them. Teaching equips people to live. When Jesus saw the crowds and felt compassion, His compassion took a clear form. He taught them. Jesus was not into small talk or simply “hanging out.” When He opened His mouth, He had something meaningful to say. That is why people called Him Teacher. He cared for people by teaching them truth that could change their lives. ---- Discover fundamental truths and the power of Scripture with Pastor David E. Sumrall on Daily Devotions.
