Day 9: Missional Christmas

Nine Experiences Learning

Along with teaching in the synagogues, Jesus created learning experiences for his followers. He taught spiritual truths from everyday life using parables, shocking statements to gain attention, catchy sayings and word plays, poignant questions, and repetition. He taught by example and by practical assignments for his followers with reports on their application.

Jesus was a master of indirect communication thereby causing those who heard his teaching to ponder the significance of his sayings. He used a dialogical method that caused his disciples to reflect on their own experiences in order to deepen their learnings.

“On the ninth day of Christmas, my Lord & Savior sent me:
Nine Experiences Learning,
Eight Schools Inspiring,
Seven Continents Teaching,
Six Missional Careers,
Five Missional Answers,
Four Educational Levels,
Three Intercultural Options,
Two Missional Opportunities,
and a Christian on a Unique Mission”

Three Intercultural Options The telling of the traditional Christmas story is incomplete without the scene of the three wise kings from the east who visited Jesus after his birth bearing gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Sermons on the Matthew passage often focus on the symbolism of the gifts – missing the missional significance of […]
