Jesus A Master Of Words!

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the
words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are
life (John 6:63).
Genesis 1 tells us how in the beginning, God created the
heaven and the earth. He did it with words! When Jesus
ministered, He ministered with words; He changed things
with words. Every word He spoke came to pass. When
He spoke to blind eyes, they opened; when He commanded
deaf ears, they were unstopped. Once, He said to a man
with a withered arm, “Stretch forth thine hand”; the man
did, and his withered arm was perfectly restored (Matthew
12:13). Even when He raised the dead, He did it with
words; He was a master of words. He knew what to do
with words.
His extraordinary use of words captivated even the soldiers
that were sent to arrest Him. When they got to Him, they
probably forgot their mission and stood listening to Him
instead, overwhelmed by the power, and excellence of His
words. They just couldn’t arrest Him. When the chief priests
and Pharisees asked them, “Why have you come without
him?” The officers said, “…Have you heard the way he
talks? We've never heard anyone speak like this man” (John
7:46 MSG).
When the people listened to Jesus, they didn't want to leave
His presence. Mark 12:37 says “…And the common people
heard him gladly.” They came by their tens of thousands; the
multitude thronged Him. The Word reports how, they were
with Him in the desert and wouldn’t go home for three
days, forgetting also that they hadn’t eaten, as they listened to
the Master speak words of life.
When He cast out devils in the synagogue, the Bible says
the people present were “…all amazed, and spake among
themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority
and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come
out” (Luke 4:36). The Pharisees talked about the demons,
but Jesus talked to the demons with authority. Halleluiah!
He inspires me; I’m turned on by His love, and by His
example. He was a master of Words.
