No other speaks like Jesus!

The officers then came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, "Why did you not bring him?" The officers answered, "No one ever spoke like this man!" - John 7:45-46

After the temple officers returned from their assignment to arrest Jesus without arresting him, the chief priests and Pharisees confronted them. Their response was profoundly true: "No one ever spoke like this man!" The officers heard many people teach in the temple courts, but they found Jesus' teaching to be different. Other gospel writers recorded similar responses to Jesus' teaching.

and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word possessed authority. - Luke 4:32

And they were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes. - Mark 1:22

And when Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes. - Matthew 7:28-29

No other speaks like Jesus!

Brothers and sisters at The Well Church, what is Jesus saying to you today? Whether you are satisfied, anxious, hopeful, desperate, or worrying, today's text reminds us that we first go to God and His word. God still speaks, and let us pray and meditate on God's Word.

I will meditate on your precepts 
and fix my eyes on your ways. 
I will delight in your statutes; 
I will not forget your word.
- Psalm 119:15-16

May you hear His still small voice today.
