The Unique Words of Christ- John 7:46-ESV

No one ever spoke like this man!

Jesus is unique in everything he is and does. Even his speech is unique. His opponents even recognized that there was something special about his words. His words were and are the words of God.

When Jesus speaks, you are hearing the words of God. In John chapter 7 Jesus told the Jews that his teaching was not his, but rather, his Father’s. Jesus came to reveal God the Father to us. He did this through both his actions and his words. His actions (and his miracles in particular) validated his words.

Today His works and words are validated by the Bible. The Bible is the printed word of God. When we read the Bible, we are hearing from God. Would you like to hear from God? Would you like to hear the words of Christ? They are right there in your Bible just waiting for you to open it up and read.

Some Bible publishers have the words of Christ printed in red ink to help you distinguish between His words and other’s. Although as John wrote, not everything Jesus said and did has been written down, what was written down is what God determined we needed to know for our redemption.

Jesus came and gave us everything we need for salvation. His words, his actions and his atoning death on the cross and resurrection are all we need. And as the opponents of his day remarked: No one ever spoke like this man! Jesus was constantly teaching and speaking to people revealing the Father to them. He does the same today. He wants to speak to you. He wants to reveal the Father to you. Open your Bible and discover what is that Jesus has for you today.

You will instantly see the uniqueness of His words. They are, as Peter exclaimed, the words of life. Peter asked, “Where else shall we go?” There is nowhere else we can go. The words of Christ are not only unique they are the words of life. Listen to Him today.
