Speak as One Having Authority

THE multitude who heard Jesus were astonished at his words, for he taught them “as one having authority.” Those who speak for Jesus should also speak with authority. There are arguments you can present for the truth before the people, but you yourself—your own demeanor, your sincerity, your earnestness, your conviction that you have the greatest truth in the world—are the chief argument. The truth of God must not be presented in a way that will leave its claims open to question. Speak as one having authority.
