Jesus sought an avenue to every heart. By using a variety of illustrations, He not only presented truth in its different phases, but appealed to the different hearers. Their interest was aroused by figures drawn from the surroundings of their daily life. None who listened to the 22 Saviour could feel that they were neglected or forgotten. The humblest, the most sinful, heard in His teaching a voice that spoke to them in sympathy and tenderness.

Jesus søgte at finde vej til alle hjerter. Ved at bruge mange forskellige illustrationer fremførte han ikke alene sandheden fra dens forskellige synsvinkler, men han appellerede til de forskellige tilhørere. Deres interesse blev vakt ved billeder hentet fra det, der omgav dem til daglig. Ingen, der lyttede til Frelseren, kunne føle, at de blev forbigået eller glemt. De mest ydmyge, de mest syndige hørte i hans undervisning en stemme, der talte til dem med sympati og ømhed.
