dc.description.abstract | James Witt’s essay explores eight key principles that made Jesus the ultimate communicator of God’s Word. Witt emphasizes that Jesus was a master student of life, a strategic planner, and a developer of reproducing disciples. He adapted His message to people’s nature and situation, communicated with clarity and appeal, and spoke with authority and conviction. Jesus also prepared His followers to live out their faith and stimulated personal assimilation of His teachings. Witt applies these principles to modern ministry, urging pastors and teachers to cultivate spiritual depth, strategic focus, and engaging delivery. He challenges communicators to move beyond mere information transfer to life transformation, echoing John Stott’s insight that effective preaching is rooted in being mastered by Christ. The essay serves as both a practical guide and a spiritual call to faithful, thoughtful Gospel communication.
