I Will Answer... Communication Development/Rashea@LLO2 Academy
...Jesus answered them fitly and admirably. -Mark 12:28 Amplified Version
How do you communicate?
How do you answer?
How do you reason?
How do you view current events and matters of common place or complexities, divertly, symmetrically, psychologically, sociologically and relationally?
Are you rashly impulsive or analytically rational with your thoughts and how you communicate those thoughts?
Why am I asking all these questions? I am asking all these questions to encourage you to ponder HOW you communicate and to GROW you in how you communicate.
As I studied the Scriptures I was quite intrigued on HOW the observer and writer observed how Jesus communicated to others. "Fitly and admirably." Fitly and admirably reveals that Jesus was analytically rational and wise with His thoughts and communication.
Jesus wasn't just knowledgeable. Jesus was theologically, intellectually and psychologically cultured in the understanding and the wisdom that it would take to answer and to communicate fitly and admirably to His audience.
Note: Know your audience.
Being aware of what certain audience is in your midst will determine how you answer and what level of knowledge and insight is needed when addressing your audience. No matter what depth of intellect you must utilize, keep it practical. No one likes leaving a conversation asking themselves, "What did they just say?"🤣
Speaking intelligently isn't the means of utilizing a bunch of big words but rather utilizing a means of communication and an approach to communicating your thoughts to your audience that is clear, notable, obtainable and doable. Yes. Challenge others to think higher in innovation, ingenuity, intellect and, also, structually, but do so in a practical manner.
Jesus was speaking to one audience but caught the attention of another audience. There will be people around you on different tiers of learning & mastery. How you communicate has the power to draw the learning and mastery of different audiences.
The scribe listening to Jesus was impressed by Jesus' approach to His conversation with the Sadducees and how He communicated the right answers to them. Jesus had a solid understanding of the law and of life. Therefore, His depth of understanding solidified His answers in an intriguing, intellectual and relatable way.
Jesus' communication and answers were so well communicated that the scribe expounded on how he viewed Jesus' answers and understanding to be in his hearing. The scribe viewed Jesus' answers and communication as "excellent, fitly and admirable." Jesus' answers and HOW He communicated those answers exceeded the expectations of the scribe, an well educated man himself.
How Jesus answered was not predicated only on knowledge but His beliefs. Jesus believed that God's truth was not only THE law but the premise and blueprint by which we should soundly live and improve our lives. Jesus beliefs and His thoughts on His beliefs initiated and guided His solid response when an answer was acquired.
Principles of belief stem from your mind (thoughts on what is truth and what is believed to be precedently true. Furthermore, it is concrete evidence leading to what is right and a good outcome).
Think things through. Really think about what is being asked and communicated before you answer. Stay in your capacity of knowledge and understanding. You never want to leave a conversation saying, "What did I just say?"🙄💭🤣
Sometimes, we can say things that even we don't understand to look and sound good in front of people. Reach and communicate in your capacity, while listening and learning from solid people and leaders that are on a different tier of mastery than yourself. Commit to being habitually consistent in communicating maturely on your level of knowledge and understanding.
Analyze. Simplify. Proceed with confidence. Now I will answer.
