We’ve noted that the best communicators
- have a broad objective,
- use engaging methodology,
- know how to illustrate,
- know their audience,
- and know when to be silent.
Yet, even with all that in place, Bible teachers will not be most effective unless their communication is Christ-like. Jesus’ words in John 15:5 apply. — “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”
Being Christ-like in Our Communication.
To be Christ-like in our communication, we obviously need to follow Jesus’ example.

But, we also need to align our heart with His, a heart that spoke the truth in love.
The Bible Teacher’s Role training resource, which deals with eight different roles, briefly reflects on these points about Christ-like communication.
This is very educative and has helped me immensely. May the good Lord enlarge you. Grow in Grace.
Praise God this has been beneficial to you! We can’t go wrong learning from and following the example of our Lord.
