Of Christ’s teaching it is said, “The common people heard Him gladly.” Mark 12:37. “Never man spake like this Man” (John 7:46), declared the officers who were sent to take Him. His words comforted, strengthened, and blessed those who were longing for the peace that He alone could give. There was in His words that which lifted His hearers to a high plane of thought and action. If these words, instead of the words of men, were given to the learner today, we should see evidences of higher intelligence, a clearer comprehension of heavenly things, a deeper knowledge of God, a purer, more vigorous Christian life. {CT 260.3}

Om Kristi lære blev det sagt: »Den store skare hørte ham gerne.« Mark. 12,38. »Aldrig har noget menneske talt, som dette menneske taler.« (Joh. 7,46) erklærede embedsmændene som blev sendt for at tage Ham. Hans ord trøstede, styrkede, og velsignede dem som længes efter den fred som Han alene kunne give. Hans ord var opløftende for Hans tilhørere, til et højere tanke- og handlingsplan. Hvis disse ord, i stedet for menneskers ord, blev givet til eleven i dag, ville vi se bevis på højere forstand, en klarere fattevne for himmelske ting, (261) en dybere kundskab til Gud, et renere liv, mere livskraftigt kristenliv.
