  Abstract:  The paper Jesus as the Model of an Educator aims to present Jesus Christ as model of all educators. In the process of spiritual accompaniment, we begin with the model of Jesus. It is Jesus as teacher who has first educated us to have faith and has taught us how to be in a relationship with the Father. How does Jesus educate? What specific things does he teach us? These two questions will help us to develop our argument. To the first question we will respond by beginning with the person of Jesus. We will highlight that he is a teacher because he has learned. The educational method used by Christ is related to his person, to the way in which he grew and his capacity to learn. The relationship between Jesus and the disciples represents another way to respond to the question at hand. Jesus chose twelve disciples and during a long period of formation he taught them patiently to be humanly mature. However, Jesus does not limit himself to the education of the disciples but offers this same education to all men. What does Jesus teach us? This is the second question to which we shall offer a response. Above all, we will highlight that Jesus, the Good Shepherd, teaches us to serve. Jesus inspires us to live well and to love, evermore disposed to serve in the concrete situations in which we find ourselves.
