<p><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">“No one ever spoke like this man.” These words are the reply of the temple police as they returned empty-handed to the chief priests and the Pharisees who had sent them to arrest Jesus as he taught the people. (John 7:46)&nbsp;</span><br />&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />You may be surprised to find that those simple words affect you strongly, even physically, nearly two thousand years after they were written down and after you have heard them many times. Now you have really heard them. Such is the supernatural realism of the gospels. We can share in the astonishment of those men and find ourselves held spellbound and delighted for awhile in the light, the indescribable field of energy, that flows from Jesus.</p>
