MENTORING

JESUS, THE MODEL FOR MENTORING

How to mentor as Jesus did.
Make every effort to get to know the things that Jesus knew.
Start with the scripture Luke 2:46-52.
Pick a small section of it for a in depth study.
Read it over many times.
Keep saying it in your mind and meditate on what it means.
Let God speak to you about a deeper understanding of its meaning.
Jesus later taught Matthew how to be effective in understanding truth. Practice now so you can be efficient later.
As an example use Luke 2:46 "they found him in the temple courts."

COMPOSE AS MANY TRUTHS AS YOU CAN CONCERNING THIS SCRIPTURE.
· Jesus was both “Son of Man,” and “Son of God.”
· He confined himself here to learning as a human like you.
· He knew that truth will be found in the temple.
· He took God's Word as truth.
· Determined now to take God's Word for yourself as truth.

An important truth that Jesus will need later, when he confronts Matthew is written by
Rev. W. Peter Gadsby B.Sc., B.D.

The Tree of Life stood in the centre of the Garden of Eden which elsewhere is called ‘The Garden of the LORD’ (Genesis 2:16–17). It was a real tree, to be sure, but let me suggest that it was also symbolic of the fact that God was, and is, the source of eternal life and blessing. Adam and Eve were to have their life centred in Him, even as the Tree was in the centre of His Garden.

Other parts of the Bible also mention The Tree of Life.
In Ezekiel 47:12 we read of trees whose ‘fruit will be for food and their leaves for healing’.
This image is taken up also in Revelation 22:2.

It is clear particularly in Proverbs where a number of things are referred to as ‘a tree of life’ (wisdom (3:15), the fruit of the righteous (11:30), desire fulfilled (13:12), and a soothing tongue (15:4)) that the Tree of Life in these references symbolises that which brings joy and healing to people.
