““No one ever spoke the way this man does,” the guards replied.” John 7:46 (NIV)
While on earth during His ministry, people were often impressed by the manner which Jesus spoke. His words impressed them. Today's verse come from a time when the Temple guards were sent to arrest Him. This is what they told the Jewish authorities who desired to kill Jesus. Their statement was, of course, true. Because Jesus the Son of God, came from heaven, He had messages that were divine in origin. As we read the words recorded in the Bible from His teaching while here on earth we recognize that He spoke with divine authority. His messages still thrill our hearts when we read them because we have believed and received Jesus as our Savior. His words have always had power. We can apply the words of our verse to our Christian experience too. We recognize our Lord's presence in our lives and we hear Him speaking to our hearts through the Holy Spirit. His words of assurances are so different from what any other person or leader around us is saying.
