November 14: Glad Tidings.
God's Word for All.
"Since David himself called the Messiah 'my Lord,' how can the Messiah be his son?" The large crowd listened to him with delight.--Mark 12:37, NLT
CHRIST'S MANNER of teaching was beautiful and attractive, and it was ever characterized by simplicity. He unfolded the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven through the use of figures and symbols with which His hearers were familiar; and the common people heard Him gladly, for they could comprehend His words. There were no high-sounding words used, to understand which it was necessary to consult a dictionary.
Jesus illustrated the glories of the kingdom of God by the use of experiences and occurrences of earth. In compassionate love and tenderness He cheered and comforted and instructed all who heard Him; for grace was poured upon His lips that He might convey to men in the most attractive way the treasures of truth.
The Saviour's voice was as music to the ears of those who had been accustomed to the monotonous, spiritless preaching of the scribes and Pharisees. He spoke slowly and impressively, emphasizing those words to which He wished His hearers to give special heed. Old and young, ignorant and learned, could catch the full meaning of His words....The people were very attentive to Him, and it was said of Him that He spoke not as the scribes and Pharisees, for His word was as of one who had authority.--Counsels to Parents, Teachers, and Students, 240.
He entered the synagogue and taught. And they were astonished at His teaching.
for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
--Mark 1:21, 22, NKJV
