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. {CT 240.2}

Kristi måde at undervise på var skøn og tiltrækkende, og blev altid kendetegnet ved sin enkelthed. Han åbnede op for himmerigets mysterier, ved at bruge figurer og symboler som hans tilhørere var fortrolige med, og almindelige folk hørte ham med glæde, for de kunne fatte Hans ord. Der blev ikke brugt højtlydende ord, så man skulle bruge et leksikon for at forstå det.
