Jesus as a Communicator

Abstract

This article examines the figure of Jesus as an exemplary communicator, whose techniques transcended the historical and cultural context of first-century Judea. Jesus stood out for His ability to capture attention and touch people's hearts through parables, gestures of compassion, and an unparalleled ability to connect personally with His audience. Utilizing oral traditions and the social structures of the time, He spread a message of love, hope, and redemption, reaching a diverse audience from the marginalized to intellectuals. The analysis of Jesus' communication strategies not only reinforces His historical importance but also enriches current communicative practices, emphasizing principles of clarity, simplicity, empathy, and adaptability. Despite technological and cultural changes, the foundations of effective communication remain constant; therefore, we can say that the communication of Jesus serves as a paradigm for building bridges of understanding and compassion.
