Thought for February 11

[Thompson, Darryl]

     Jesus met the people on their own ground, as one who was acquainted
with their perplexities. He made truth beautiful by presenting it in the
most direct and simple way. His language was pure, refined, and clear as
a running stream. His voice was as music to those who had listened to
the monotonous tones of the rabbis. But while His teaching was simple,
He spoke as one having authority. Desire of Ages, p. 253
