The Message Is The Same
“Christ’s understanding, diagnosis, and prescription are the same. The people He engages, however, are incredibly different. This is why Jesus’ interactions—His personal ministry of the Word, His way of speaking and living gospel truth in love—are unique to each. He models for us that the message is the same, but the methods and means of communication vary because of the personal and cultural differences of the specific audience” (Robert Kelleman, Equipping Counselors for Your Church, p. 57).
