Why is Christ known as the master Teacher?
One Characteristic of Christ is that he has charity and love. With this charity and love, it allowed Christ to have respect and show it. It also allowed him to want to and need to help all that he was able to help throughout his ministry.
Another characteristic is that Christ was obedient. This obedience allowed others to see that he follows the rules and with thus can always have the spirit with him to help him in the ministry and to be a better example to everyone.
A third Characteristic of Christ on which I will share is that he is knowledgeable. With his knowledge he could teach people what they needed to know. He knew how much each person he worked with could handle at a time and knew who needed his help the most when they needed it. His knowledge is great and with thus was able to help many.

Initial Metaphor
My personal metaphor will be that of a house. The doctrine will be the concrete foundation of the house. The Principles will be the walls and floors. The tools will be the Roof on the top of the house. The house is a good example as it is a place on which people can go and feel safe and instruction can happen there all the time.
