No one ever spoke this way

"No one ever spoke the way this man does," the guards declared  (John 7:46)

What were the wild things that Jesus said that caused the temple guard not to bring him in?

Perhaps these were some of the sayings …..

“All power is given to me in heaven and in earth."  (Matthew 28:18)

"I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again."  (John 3:7)

“unless you repent, you too will all perish.”  (Luke 13:3)

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself."  (Luke 10:27)

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)

“What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?” (Matthew 16:26)

“Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,” (Matthew 5:44)

"Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.” (Matthew 16:15)

“In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.”  (John 14:2)

No one else spoke like this.  No one else could.  What do you think about what Jesus said?  Do you believe them?  Do they effect your life? What will you do with what Jesus said? 

Ideas came from a sermon by Mark Davis – Yellow River Baptist Church
