Course Description

Teachings about the Gospels have usually portrayed Jesus Christ as the “Great Exception” to being human. However, by focusing on his sayings, we can see Jesus as the “Great Example” for Spiritual Awakening, Empowerment, and Transformation.

By exploring the teachings of Jesus, rather than the teachings about Jesus, we can follow that example. Students will develop a deeper and more practical understanding of Jesus as Master Teacher and Way-shower through reflection upon his sayings and methods. In this way, they will learn to build a strong spiritual foundation for “Christ Consciousness.”
