Jesus is the Great Kardiognostes

I've extended this great quote beyond preachers only:

" Love will help the preacher/sun school teacher/comm.Group leader/parent! to be understanding in his
approach not only because he will then take trouble to get
to know his people and their problems, but also because he
will be better able to appreciate them when he knows them.
Love has a strange intuitive faculty. Jesus our Lord
possessed it to perfection. Again and again it is said of
him that he knew people's thoughts. Indeed, the apostle
John writes, 'He knew all men and needed no one to bear
witness of man; for he himself knew what was in man.' Men
felt instinctively that he understood them. He is the
great "kardiognostes", or heart-knower, who 'searches mind
and heart', and we should seek from him insight to be and
do the same. Love, the unselfish care which longs to
understand and so to help, is one of the greatest secrets
of communication. It is when the preacher loves his
people, that they are likely to say of him, 'He understands
us.'
