WHEN JESUS PREACHES!

Speech has for long been proven to be the best avenue of letting out parameters of expression. Other linguas have only been deemed as subsidiary or supplementary to speaking, body language and gestures for instance. While on earth, Christ spoke. And of a larger portion of the time he uttered it was a sermon, a parable if it so pleases you. Not that he was the focused messiah, but because every time he noticed the need to communicate, he so wanted it to be meaningful.

Great contemporary speakers have spoken words of inspiration, counsel and motivation. But through tides and times still the teachings of Jesus hold a steeper gravity in contrast to theirs. For instance, When Erich Fromm spoke and said In times of change, learners inherit the earth, Jesus said; blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth. While David Foster Wallace said; the way you perceive and react to the world is a choice Jesus preached and said there is the least trodden path, choose ye it and walk in it. While Steve jobs said; “Don't settle!”, Jesus said, come to me, all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest. And when Salman Khan said; Live your life like it's your second chance, Jesus Preached and said, “So don't worry about tomorrow. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Tomorrow will have its own worries.”

In as much as what men of the present age have said may have made sense, and stirred up our will into crazing through thick and thin to achieve and to amass as much as we never could have thought of ourselves to have, then term it success, it is imperative that the motives, and the end of these quotes be analyzed. As to whether they lead to a higher good, common good or compromizable good. Remember, I only have the right to swing my fist as long as your nose does not consequently bleed.
Word have power. Words cause impact which may be of constructive interference or destructive interference. And if need be, some speakers deserve applauding for the good course they put up in pumping in the essence of scaling our utterance before we make them.

Benjamin Franklin for instance said; remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment. As a rejoinder, Shakespeare too said that; Men of few words are the best men.

Humorously Jarod Kintz was keen to put it in this way; I’m bilingual, speaking English and body language. I prefer the latter, because I can speak it silently and without listening and while my back is turned. On the same note, Winston Churchill pulled through the similar sense to say; A good speech should be like a woman's skirt: long enough to cover the subject and short enough to create interest.

Indeed words are important just as money is. However, if wrongly used, and uselessly spoken then they turn to be of a lethal kind. Generosity with words for the lost, confused and heavy hearted could be an exception but still I could not least concur with the words of Tarjei Vesaas, in his book The Boat in the evening where he says; Almost nothing need be said when you have eyes. I prefer to open my mouth lest often, but when I do, let it be that a parable or a great adage flows and of much impact may it be just as Jesus when He preached.
