But that is not the way you learned Christ!— assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus.
"That is not the way you learned Christ." It's a strange phrase if you stop on it — learning a person, the way you'd learn a subject. Not memorizing facts about someone, but letting how they lived actually change how you live.
Maybe you've only ever encountered Jesus secondhand — through arguments, through people who claimed him loudly but didn't act like him, through a vague cultural outline. This verse assumes something different: that there's a truth in Jesus himself, separate from all the noise made in his name, and that it's possible to actually be taught by it.
You don't have to sort out everything you've heard about Christianity to take that seriously. You just have to be willing to look at Jesus directly — not at his loudest followers, not at the caricature — and ask what it would mean to actually learn from him.
If you've mostly met Jesus through other people's version of him, it might be worth asking who he actually was.
A short video on this is coming soon — for now, read on.
