No other person spoke like Jesus. Read through the Gospels and you will find the following aspects of Christ-like communication:
awareness
available
approachable
attentive
authentic
adaptable
applicational
Jesus would speak like He knew the heart and ways of the Father.
“When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.” (Matt. 7:28-29) “They were amazed at his teaching, because his message had authority.” (Lk. 4:31-32, 36)
Notice how the way Jesus communicated:
- caused a reaction within the people
- stood in contrast to others
While Jesus spoke with authority, He was not an authoritarian forcing people to accept His words. Though all authority belongs to Jesus (Matt. 28:18), He did not merely “tell” people what He knew they needed to hear. Rather, . . .
He listened.
He responded.
In addition to the content on this page, the Christ-like Communication Guide for Church Leaders considers implications of this specific aspect of Christ-likeness for leaders.
i thank God for what is doing in this ministry and to this powerful words that i have just read about Christ like communication. we are just stewards of what God has entrusted us with.
That’s a good way to look at it … stewards of what God has entrusted us with in all we say and do.
thank for these reminders, as a ministers we need to be always Christ like and sometimes due to daily routines sometimes this basic rule is forgotten, but through this web sharing i am refreshed and reminded, thank you
Praise God for His reminders that come through various means. His desire for us to become more and more Christ-like far exceeds our’s and He doesn’t forget so the reminders will keep coming. Aren’t you glad that when we are faithless, He remains faithful (1 Tim. 2:13)?
I appreciate this study. I’m touched and I read with mind to do. God will bless the contribution and the contributor too.
