Jesus was a preacher. The Gospels show him preaching in the synagogues, on mountains, on plains, and in the Temple. He says he “was sent for this” ― to preach (Lk 4:43-44). And he was good at it. We see that “many who heard him were astonished” and that “people came to him from every quarter” (Mk 6:2 and 1:45). Simply conceived, those people who find Jesus’s preaching compelling and seek to make his message the pattern of their lives are called Christians.
