Emphasis Preaching Journal

Leslie Weatherhead wrote a book called Jesus and Ourselves. (Jesus and Ourselves, New York: Abingdon-Cokesbury, no date, p. 13f.) In the book is a chapter titled Jesus' Respect for Our Personality. Weatherhead lists four ways in which a man can impose his will on another. The four ways are physical force, powerful personality, intellectual superiority, and the appeal to the emotions. Weatherhead notes the ways Jesus' powerful personality affected people. Men left their work at two words from Christ.
