How to share Jesus' teachings today?
In what ways can we share Jesus' teachings with others, inspired by Matthew 22:33?

Astonishment That Sparks Action

“When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.” (Matthew 22:33)

The same wonder that gripped those first-century listeners can still move hearts today, and God calls us to pass it on.


Confidence in the Word We Share

“All Scripture is God-breathed…” (2 Timothy 3:16). Because every word is accurate, trustworthy, and literal, we speak with unshakable confidence.


Power from the Spirit

“You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses…” (Acts 1:8). Rely on Him; effectiveness flows from His enabling, not mere human effort.


Practical Ways to Share Jesus’ Teachings

• Speak the verses themselves

– Read or quote passages such as John 3:16 or the Sermon on the Mount in natural conversation.

– Keep a small Bible or app handy; let people see the words for themselves.

• Tell what Jesus has done for you

– Share a brief, clear testimony of salvation and daily guidance (Romans 1:16).

– Connect personal experience to scriptural truth so listeners know it’s more than opinion.

• Serve with intentional love

– Meet tangible needs (meals, errands, encouragement).

– Pair actions with words: “I’m doing this because Jesus taught me to love my neighbor” (John 13:34-35).

• Use thoughtful, gracious conversation

– Speak kindly and wisely: “Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt” (Colossians 4:5-6).

– Ask gentle questions that invite reflection without pressure.

• Practice hospitality

– Open your home for a meal or Bible reading.

– Small-group settings create space for honest discussion and scripture exploration (Acts 2:46-47).

• Teach the next generation

– Read Bible stories aloud; memorize verses together (Deuteronomy 6:6-7).

– Model obedience so children see the living reality behind the words.

• Leverage everyday platforms

– Share verse images, podcasts, or brief insights online.

– Write notes or letters that include a meaningful passage.


Living the Message You Share

“By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another.” (John 13:35)

Consistent obedience validates the truth we proclaim and keeps astonishment fresh.


Assurance of God’s Results

“So is My word that goes out from My mouth: it will not return to Me empty…” (Isaiah 55:11). Trust Him to use every faithful effort—spoken, written, or lived—to draw others to the astonishing Teacher, Jesus Christ.
