The Teaching Tools of Scripture
One of the most important and most common Teaching Tools is Learning from the Narrative. The history and story of Scripture teaches its own lesson, not by structures or knowledge of Hebrew or the Hebrew paragraphs, the hidden tools, but by considering the story in its entirety.
The Fall of Man in Genesis 3 teaches the lesson that disobedience to God’s command is sin.
Noah’s Flood in Genesis 6-8 teaches the lesson that God preserves the righteous through the judgment of the wicked.
The humbling of Pharaoh’s pride in Exodus 1-12 teaches the lesson that kings, no matter how powerful they are, are no match for the power and might of YHVH.
Examples:
Genesis 23, Learning from the Narrative Teaching Tool
Genesis 38, Judah’s Remorse
Genesis 47, Preservation
Exodus 30, Created, then Consecrated
Judges 5 and 6, The Path of Transformation
Jeremiah 27 and 28, On Raising up Kings
Matthew 10, In the Service of the King
Acts 24, All Good Things for Those who Love God
