The testimonies of those who actually sat under his teaching ring loud and clear concerning his teaching genius: “The crowds were astonished and overwhelmed with bewildered wonder at His teaching.” —Matthew 7:28 “They were astonished and filled with glad amazement at His teaching.” —Matthew 23:33 “The entire multitude was struck with astonishment at His teaching.” —Mark 11:18 “The great mass of people heard Jesus gladly—listening to Him with great delight.”—Mark 12:37 Astonished, overwhelmed, bewildered, wonder, amazement, glad and great delight are the words used to describe the teaching of Jesus. How would those you teach honestly describe your teaching? The Teaching Genius of Jesus is a concise study of the greatest teacher ever to grace the planet—Jesus!
