Jesus Quotes
-
If Jesus were alive today, he'd probably be at the Super Bowl.
Norman Vincent Peale
-
Jesus didn't just give hugs; He also gave a hammer. Paul didn't just pass on holy kisses; he also tirelessly dealt out swift and holy kicks to the rear end of the ancient church. The Bible has the manly stuff intact, and that is why it is such a great mystery how it got lost in the modern church.
Eric Ludy
-
You find that the things you let go of while following Jesus were the things that were going to destroy you in the end.
Francis Chan
-
An angel, legend has it, took pity on a little shepherd girl who had nothing to give to the Infant Jesus in his manger. The angel handed her a weed, but first transformed it into this beautiful flower of winter.
Allen Lacy
-
Our Lord Jesus Christ, a little before his departure, commissioned his apostles to Go, and teach all nations; or, as another evangelist expresses it, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. This commission was as extensive as possible, and laid them under obligation to disperse themselves into every country of the habitable globe, and preach to all the inhabitants, without exception, or limitation. They accordingly went forth in obedience to the command, and the power of God evidently wrought with them.
William Carey
-
'If any want to become my followers,' Jesus says. Following him is not something that is self-evident, even among the disciples. No one can be forced, no one can be expected to follow him. … 'If any want to follow me, they must deny themselves … and take up their cross.'
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
-
If you know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you already have the Holy Spirit living within you.
David Jeremiah
-
False gods - the gods of human understanding - despise sinners, but the Father of Jesus loves all, no matter what they do. But of course this is almost too incredible for us to accept.
Brennan Manning
-
Jesus has been in my room. He has taken my hand and told me, No, Not now. I have other things for you to do.
Patsy Cline
-
There are no experts in the company of Jesus. We are all beginners, necessarily followers, because we don’t know where we are going.
Eugene H. Peterson
-
God's deepest secrets often miss the wise and prudent and are revealed unto babes. We say, "Children, be like your parents." Jesus said, "Parents, be like your children."
Vance Havner
-
We're never going to have a perfect candidate unless Jesus Christ is on the ballot.
Jerry Falwell, Jr.
-
Jesus was the first great teacher of men who showed a genuine sympathy for childhood. When He said "Of such is the kingdom of heaven," it was a revelation.
Edward Eggleston
-
Jesus himself, as the gospel story goes on to its dramatic conclusion, lives out the same message of the Sermon on the Mount: he is the light of the world, he is the salt of the earth, he loves his enemies and gives his life for them, he is lifted up on a hill so that the world can see.
N. T. Wright
-
I don't preach a social gospel; I preach the Gospel, period. The gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is concerned for the whole person. When people were hungry, Jesus didn't say, 'Now is that political or social?' He said, 'I feed you.' Because the good news to a hungry person is bread.
Desmond Tutu
-
Jesus was always challenging the dogma of religion. So, you know, it's not like I'm out there by myself.
William P. Young
-
Unique among the nations, America recognized the source of our character as being godly and eternal, not being civic and temporal. And because we have understood that our source is eternal, America has been different. We have no king but Jesus.
John Ashcroft
-
We know Jesus taught that if someone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to the left. We know that Mohammed was sacked from his village and stoned at Ta'if, but he quietly left for Medina.
If both of these men, beaten, and bloodied-the incarnations of their respective faiths-asked God to forgive their aggressors, then who were today's religious leaders to advocate holy war?
Eliza Griswold
