Why Jesus Taught the Way He Did

from The Grove Church · host The Grove Church

This week on Cultivate, we explore what Jesus was really doing during His earthly ministry—and why His teachings sounded so different from Paul’s letters. Charlie and Abigail dive into the heart of Christology by asking: why didn’t Jesus just explain the gospel clearly? And what exactly was He preparing people for?They unpack how Jesus’ mission was rooted in helping deeply religious people unlearn a broken view of God and the law. While the Apostle Paul writes with post-resurrection clarity, Jesus taught in a culture still holding tightly to legalism and self-righteousness. From the Sermon on the Mount to the parables, His teachings weren't random—they were reshaping hearts to understand grace, forgiveness, and the need for a Savior.This episode is a thoughtful look at how Jesus bridged the gap between the Old Covenant and the cross, preparing people (and us) to receive the gospel not just with our minds, but with open hearts.
