Christians Are Just Simple Scribes

There seems to be consensus in the religious world that our Lord’s “Sermon on the Mount” is one of the hallmarks of Christianity. As part of His plain teaching regarding the kingdom (Matthew 4:17; Matthew 4:23-25; Matthew 5:2-3), He sets forth the unique characteristics of Christians, setting them apart from the world and other world religions. After concluding His great sermon, Matthew records these words:

And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes” (Matthew 7:28-29).

Let us ask, “How did Jesus speak differently than the scribes and what made His speech so special?" (cf. John 7:30-46).
