Mark 1:22 (King James Version)

22 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.

Here, Mark writes about what happens in teaching.  The importance of teaching and learning are at the heart of human existence.  From the tenderest beginnings of human life, we are engineered to learn.  Absorbing and processing experience is an essential part of our genetic fabric.  Through teaching ‘as one that had authority, and not as the scribes’, we are able to equip others with the tools to determine for themselves, and to imagine new possibilities.
