Broadus John A says, “The moral teachings of Jesus (1) Commend themselves to us as containing the highest of human wisdom ; (2) come to us with superhuman authority –that of Him who is the Son of God, Matt. 7:21 and will be our Judge (v.22); (3) are embodied in an actual character-the peerless character of the teacher himself; (4) Bring with them the offer of help in living up to them-that of the Holy Spirit. –Distinguishing (Lk. 11:13) features of Christ’s ministry. (a) Those which cannot be imitated-his originality, miracle-working, authority. (b) Those which must not be imitated-his positiveness, self-assurance, self-representation. (c) Those which should be imitated-his naturalness, variety, suggestiveness, catholicity, spirituality, tenderness, faithfulness, devoutness.
