Cbrist's teacbings, tbey could see, were entirely different in matter and manner, substance and form. He taugbt different lessons, and He taugbt tbem as one baving autbority.
We are not to allow any wrong associations to cluster around tbis word authority, as tbougb in speaking witb autbority, Cbrist spoke in a stern, im- perious, barsb manner. We sometimes, perbaps gener- ally, bave sucb associations w^itb tbe term, and witb tbe persons to wbom it is applicable. Wben one speaks witb autbority,... be too often repels us. Now tbere was notbing stern or repellent to tbe simple-bearted in Cbrist, and wben tbe people saw and said tbat He taugbt witb autbority, it means simply tbat He spoke THE AUTHOKITATIVENESS OF CHKISt's TEACHINGS. 241 as one who had a right to speak, one who was com- missioned to speak, one who spoke out of the intui- tions of His own soul, from the sight of his own eyes, the hearing of His own ears, first-hand not second- hand, certainties not guesses, observations not re- ports, out of the depths not from the surface of His nature.
