Easy to Understand—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.—Counsels to Parents, Teachers, and Students, 240 (1913). {2MCP 573.5}

Nem at forstå — Kristi undervisningsmetode var smuk og tiltrækkende, og den var altid karakteriseret af enkelthed. Han udfoldede himmerigets mysterier ved brug af billeder og symboler, som Hans tilhører kendte til; og almindelige folk hørte glædeligt på Ham, for de kunne forstå Hans ord. Det blev ikke brugt højtsvævende ord, som skulle kunne forstås (574) uden at slå op i et leksikon. — Råd til forældre, lærere og studerende, 240 (1913).
