My follow up to last weeks post is still in the works...
So today's Sunday post is one of my favorite examples of great and effective teaching...
There is no fanfare, no glam, no glitz, no soap-boxing or pushiness.
Only once the subject (the Samaritan woman at the well) has expressed a willingness to learn by questioning the uniqueness of the situation does Christ begin his teaching. Just simple strait forward getting the message across and allowing it to sink in.
The entire lesson is a dance, with the teacher (Christ) building each layer of understanding one upon the other. Each step is countered with only a slight step further... waiting to gauge the receptiveness of the student before continuing.
The subject is given sufficient space an time to discover things for herself.
I have put up the KJV version of it, because I just love the beauty of the KJV English when read aloud... the KJV was translated at the time before most people could read so one of the main aims of the KJV was to ensure they produced an English translation that would flow and sound good when read aloud.
