How did Christ teach the people?

Answer

"He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes." Matt. 7: 29.
NOTE - "The teaching of the scribes and elders was cold and formal, like a lesson learned by rote. To them
the Word of God possessed no vital power. Their own ideas and traditions were substituted for its teaching.
In the accustomed round of service they professed to explain the law, but no inspiration from God stirred
their own hearts or the hearts of their hearers."

What test should therefore be applied to every professed teacher of truth?
