READ: Luke 4:22-32

«The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.» - John 7:46

The unique value of the words of Jesus must be recognized. The words of Jesus must be assigned the distinction and the commanding authority they deserve. As someone said, Jesus is the best teacher of His own religion.

You will notice several different categories of Christ’s words:

1. The conversations of Christ with His disciples.
2. The brief miracle commands of Christ that brought healing to numerous sick bodies leave the reader in awe of the Saviour.
3. The brief sentences from the Sermon on the Mount that stick in our memory.
4. The classic parables of Jesus that seem to never lose the power to teach something new.
5. The farewell speeches of Jesus recorded in the book of John.
6. The rambling stories of Jesus are unforgettable and unrivalled.
7. The prophecies of Jesus that are being fulfilled before our very eyes.

The words of Jesus are the words of the Son of God. No other man ever spoke like He did. His words have outlasted any other words spoken by any other person. Even though Jesus was only thirty years old when He began to speak, it is obvious that His words were the most profound sayings ever known to man. Down through the centuries, men from all walks of life have commented on the uniqueness of the words of Jesus.
