Some of us, if not most of us, learn better via hands on / visual experience. You can pour thousands of words and instructions into their heads and call it teaching them, but until their senses are engaged (seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching) they aren’t learning the information. For them to be taught it would have to be put into a relatable series of events or instructions that will engage the sense allowing to store the learned information with relatable sensory response. Example – Do not touch fire. It will burn you. In order for a person to understand “burn” and why they would not want to be “burned” they will have to be able to relate “burn” to pain, searing pain that goes beyond skin deep. Pain that lasts days upon days, and even gets worse by touching it. They would have to understand heat and it’s effects on skin; how it feels. All these relatable sensory reactions and feelings are assigned to the word burn in order to give you the wisdom and knowledge of fire.

Otherwise until you are able to relate those words to senses, you are more than likely going to have to experience getting burned before you are able to comprehend what it is.

“Cursed is the ground for thy sake.” “Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to thee.”

Basically the earth will teach you by your choices those things that I can not. You will see it, you will feel it, you will experience it. Through this you will learn and gain wisdom, experience and knowledge, and know how to teach your children that which you have learned. You will understand that all that the father has made and done is good and for the benefit of the son.

John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 1:1

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made…The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Proverbs 3

My Son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: For the length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck;write them upon the table of thine heart: So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man…My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction: For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof of gold. She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. Length of days in her right hand; and all her paths are peace. She is the tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is everyone that retaineth her. The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.

By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew. My son,let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion: So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck. Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble. When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet. Be not afraid of sudden fear; neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. For the lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken. Withhold not good form them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.Say not unto thy neighbor, GO and come again, and to morrow i will give; when thou hast it by thee. Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee. Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm. Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose one of his ways. For the froward is abomination to the Lord: but his secret is with the righteous. The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just. Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly. The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.

Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father , and attend to know understanding. For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law. For I was my father’s son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother…Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.  Avoid it, pass by it, turn from it, and pass away. For thy sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall. For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence…Keep thy commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.

This is what you would imagine a father telling his child whom he loves when sending them out into the world to teach them, and that they learn that all the father does is for the greater protection of his children, recognizing that just as the father had a choice, so does he that was created in his image have the ability to choose. And just as the father has the wisdom and knowledge to make the best decisions for his children, so must the son gain such wisdom and knowledge.
