Simplify–Don’t Complicate

Ever think about the style in which Jesus communicated with people? Even a quick scan through the Bible’s New Testament shows us that He didn’t use an excessive number of words to express himself. However, His ability to speak with clarity, authority, and confidence in every situation was striking to behold. His parables and analogies were remarkable, and it appears his audience always departed thoughtful and inspired.

What if we followed His example in how we shared information? Our goal is to specifically ensure that our audience receives the critical points of our message. This doesn’t mean we need to be lengthy in our approach, but we should be distinct in our expression of God’s word to others. What are the key points and conclusions we wish to convey? Our listeners will appreciate simple, uncomplicated methods of speech.
