Really, he taught more or less the same things as all great religous figures, modesty, poverty, equality, and peace. More or less the same as the Siddartha Guatama (the Buddha) in many aspects.

If you truly believe and practice obedience and listening to God's voice, you can be taught quite a lot. Some of the stories about Jesus's life that are told in the bible can offer insight on how to live, but there is a difference between reading them like you would read any book, mulling them over, and applying them where applicable - and accepting Jesus as your Savior and having a life relationship with him. I couldn't begin to list here all of the amazing changes that have occured in my life and in my spirit since I accepted Christ. If you're interested, I urge you to find a church in your area and learn more about this. Blessings to you.

He explains several of the 10 commandments in great detail, like just being angry with a brother is as bad as killing him, or having fantasies about a person sexually is like committing adultry, and he taught that people would always be hungry and thirsty in their souls without him. He also taught not to be anxious or worried about anything. Those who mourn would be comforted, and peacemakers would be called sons of God. He taught that money isn't everything. And he taught the repentence of sin - chaging your mind to live the right way, in a pleasing way to God. He also taught peace.
I hope this helped you some. Good luck. And if you do want more or want to check what I said, look up Matthew.

A Lesson in Humility
The apostles were with Jesus in an upper room in Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover. Previously, Jesus had heard them arguing about who was the greatest among them. (Matthew 18:1; Mark 9:33, 34) He had discussed this matter with them and had endeavored to correct their viewpoint. (Luke 9:46) Now, however, Jesus emphasized those lessons using a different approach. He chose not only to talk to them about humility but to demonstrate it.
Jesus “got up from the evening meal and laid aside his outer garments,” John writes. “Taking a towel, he girded himself. After that he put water into a basin and started to wash the feet of the disciples and to dry them off with the towel with which he was girded.”—John 13:4, 5.
In the warm climate of the ancient Middle East, people usually wore open sandals as they walked on dusty roads. Upon entering the home of a common person, they would be greeted by a host, who would provide vessels and water so that they could wash their feet. In wealthier homes, a slave would perform the task of foot washing.—Judges 19:21; 1 Samuel 25:40-42.
In the upper room, Jesus and his apostles were not someone’s guests. There was no host to provide vessels, and there were no slaves to do the foot washing. When Jesus began washing their feet, the apostles were put in an awkward situation. Here the One who was the greatest among them performed the humblest task!
At first, Peter refused to let Jesus wash his feet. But Jesus told him: “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.” When Jesus finished washing the feet of all the apostles, he said: “Do you know what I have done to you? You address me, ‘Teacher,’ and, ‘Lord,’ and you speak rightly, for I am such. Therefore, if I, although Lord and Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash the feet of one another. For I set the pattern for you, that, just as I did to you, you should do also.”—John 13:6-15.
Jesus was not instituting a ritual of foot washing. Rather, he was helping his apostles adopt a new frame of mind—one of humility and a willingness to perform the lowliest of tasks in behalf of their brothers.
JESUS TAUGHT MANY THINGS. IN FACT HE IS OUR MODEL IN WHICH WE SHOULD IMITATE. IF YOU CONSULT YOUR BIBLE, YOU WILL LEARN MANY OF HIS OTHER TEACHINGS.

That this life is not the end.
As I witnessed my Mom dying, in great sadness, I realized, felt really, a great an illogical sense of serenity and peace at her final breath. In my grief, my loneliness, a feeling of peace invaded my heart and soul. I could never explain in writing what happened in my heart, yet I know without question that God touched my world personally.
After the funeral, lying in bed with my wife, I had a most profound dream. One that has never been matched in my mind of her. Mom spoke to me and said that she was fine, she was okay, and I needed to go on with my life and new family. I could see her in color, I could smell her perfume, feel her warmth. It was a dream like none other I have ever experienced before or after her funeral. It changed me dramatically.
Each time in my extreme grief I felt a sense of prayer inwards to my soul. I felt the sadness of Mary Jesus mother at her profound loss, Jesus sadness of the loss of so many of His creation and children on the cross. I related with His human suffering in a small way. I empathized with the unconditional love that Jesus has for each of us and how very profound this love is to all of us.
Jesus still after 2 thousand years has this effect on me and many others is a testament to His truth. His words are overpowering once I submitted to His will and surrender my world that I was trying to save. Jesus Christ is Lord. I simply can not write it exactly or as powerfully as He really is to me.

OK, here you Go, Jesus taught us that we could RECEIVE GODS HOLY SPIRIT! Not just a bunch of quack, but Gods living alive and blessing Holy spirit, that is the goal, every other religion is derived of rules and regulations, not receiving Gods spirit, now we find that it can only be done in his name! JESUS, that's why he is the key to it all. John 3 and acts 2 the holy spirit!

Jesus taught me that just because someone wears religious garments and performs certain tasks it does not mean they have an understanding or relationship with God. Jesus called some of them a brood of vipers, laying burdens on people and not lifting a finger to help. Outside appearances are not safe to judge by.

That God, The Holy Spirit, The blood of Jesus, water baptism, the resurrection all give witness to Jesus. That we don't have to wonder if we are saved. We can know we are saved by the witnesses of Christ.

Parables....every one of them!
Particularly like the one about the workers in the field all receiving the same wage, even though some worked the full day, some half a day and some not much at all.

What he taught me was a lot in how to deal with people.
Jesus ate with the taxcollecters and the people who others would not give the time of day to. He actually touched the unclean people. He showed compassion to people who were criminals according to the religious law and taught me how to forgive other people. He also taught me that the greatest gift is love.
In regards to how we communicate. He taught me that the best way to communicate is by telling stories. He also taught me how to be color blind, because Jesus would look on the inside rather than on the exterior of the person. Jesus definitely was not impressed by the people who were of wealth. In fact the people he was closest to were not very wealthy at all, but rather the working class citizens and the down trodden.
He was the hardest on the pharisees, because they knew right from wrong and were so caught up in the rules and regulations instead of focusing on the intent of the law. He also was practical. For instance, he used the analogy of getting a donkey out of trouble on the Sabbath, the holy day. In that he showed me that when it's necessary you work even on a day that is forbidden, if the work is truly critical.
He also taught me that what gives true happiness is giving rather than receiving. When I get out of my "poor me" mode and into "other people" mode, I find more peace and joy than when I'm only focused on my own needs.
He taught me that little children are more important as well as other people, than on the pressing duties of the day.
He taught me that in the Garden of Gesthemene, he prayed (communicated) with his father, but was willing to do what was necessary. He taught me integrity from this.
He calmed the seas, through that teaching, he taught me not to worry about all the little things in life, but just to put my trust in God.
He taught me how to overcome temptation when he was in the wilderness for 40 days.
He taught me that rest is important. He had times when he laid down and recharged himself. Even He realized that you need to take care of yourself if you are going to take care of others.
Through the Sermon on the Mount, he showed me how we are to turn the other cheek and be giving to others.
He taught me that the worlds formula for success is totally the opposite of his version of success. The love of material things will only make things better while you are here. You can't take those material things with you. But the eternal things are what you do with the gifts and talents you are given.
Finally, through his death and his resurrection, he taught me how to live and how I can have a relationship with him and his father.
