John 7:14 – 16 “Not until halfway through the festival did Jesus go up to the temple courts and begin to teach. The Jews there were amazed and asked, “How did this man get such learning without having been taught?”Jesus answered, “My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me.”

Thanks today to Phoebe Pryce, Chair of the Provincial Youth Committee, for reading this passage. Throughout the Bible, Christ has left us with many teachings. Most of us have many teachers in our lives, be they schoolteachers, church leaders, parents or friends, who can leave us helpful instructions. Phoebe's advent item is a recipe for her mum's chocolate brownies, representing the sharing and recording of helpful teachings, like Christ's in the Bible.
