). The Gospel to
the Poor
—Christ came to preach the gospel to the poor. He reached
[1120]
the people where they were. He brought plain, simple truth to their
comprehension. How simple His language! Even the poorest, the
unlearned and ignorant, could understand Him. Not one needed go
to a dictionary to obtain the meaning of the high-sounding titles
or words that fell from the lips of the greatest Teacher the world
ever knew. While the priests, the rulers, and the expounders of the
law were considering themselves as the only teachers of the people,
He told these learned rabbis that they were both ignorant of the
Scriptures and of the power of God (
