Christ Quotes
-
Yes, I see the Church as the body of Christ. But, oh! How we have blemished and scarred that body through social neglect and through fear of being nonconformists.
Martin Luther
-
Christians have to listen to the world as well as to the Word - to science, to history, to what reason and our own experience tell us. We do not honor the higher truth we find in Christ by ignoring truths found elsewhere.
William Sloane Coffin
-
Evangelical agencies with ready funding may have too little depth and vision to cope with the current conflict. God's kingdom is built not on perpetual motion, one-liners, and flashbulbs but on Christ.
Carl F. H. Henry
-
We read not that Christ ever exercised force but once; and that was to drive profane ones out of his Temple, not to force them in.
John Milton
-
I write ... in order to help ensure that the teeming millions in the New World, for whose sins Christ gave His life, do not continue to die in ignorance, but rather are brought to knowledge of God and thereby saved.
Bartolomé de las Casas
-
What good are Greek, commentaries, insight, gift, and all the rest, if there is no heart for Christ?
Jim Elliot
-
The kiss of the apostate was the most bitter earthly ingredient in the agonies which Christ endured.
Elias Lyman Magoon
-
It is manifest therefore that they who have sovereign power, are immediate rulers of the church under Christ, and all others but subordinate to them. If that were not, but kings should command one thing upon pain of death, and priests another upon pain of damnation, it would be impossible that peace and religion should stand together.
Thomas Hobbes
-
Love was the bedrock of Jesus' life, the very reason He came to seek and save the lost.
K. P. Yohannan
-
In a difficult situation one never-failing guide is to ask yourself: "What would Christ have done?" Then do it-as nearly as you can.
Robert Baden-Powell
-
Then the Lord said, "This is the year of crazy, substantial hope." Then I saw many sitting around the Table of the Lord whom He was about to address. There was such communion, love, and honor. Then the Lord took His place at the Table. I was overwhelmed with the presence of the Lord. He was so alive. He was so much fun. But He made it very clear that this year the Body of Christ was being evaluated in their hope.
Bob Hartley
-
In the gospel of Jesus Christ, there is no place for ridicule, bullying, or bigotry.
Neil L. Andersen
-
But with Christ, we have access in a one-to-one relationship, for, as in the Old Testament, it was more one of worship and awe, a vertical relationship. The New Testament, on the other hand, we look across at a Jesus who looks familiar, horizontal. The combination is what makes the Cross.
Bono
U2
-
I don't reject Christ. I love Christ. It's just that so many of you Christians are so unlike Christ.
Mahatma Gandhi
-
When Christ came into the world, peace was sung; and when He went out of the world, peace was bequeathed.
Francis Bacon
-
The unity of Christendom is not a luxury, but a necessity. The world will go limping until Christ's prayer that all may be one is answered. We must have unity, not at all costs, but at all risks. A unified Church is the only offering we dare present to the coming Christ, for in it alone will He find room to dwell.
Charles Brent
