ABSTRACT

The extraordinary thing about Jesus, the unique thing about Him, is that the publicans and harlots felt closer to Him than all the doctors of philosophy and the learned scribes of His day, who would not allow a man to raise a fallen calf on the Sabbath. The teachings of Jesus are admittedly in a category by themselves, unique and of a strange beauty, teaching something which is not found in other religions. The world of Jesus is the world of sunlight by comparison with that of all the sages and philosophers and the schoolmen of any country. Jesus never expounded His faith, never reasoned it out. He spoke with the simplicity and certainty of clear knowledge.
