Christ Quotes
-
God does not save those who are only imaginary sinners. Be a sinner, and let your sins be strong (sin boldly), but let your trust in Christ be stronger, and rejoice in Christ who is the victor over sin, death, and the world. We will commit sins while we are here, for this life is not a place where justice resides. We, however, ... are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth where justice will reign.
Martin Luther
-
Christ has given us the most glorious interpretation of life's meaning that man has ever had. The fatherhood of God, the fellowship of the Spirit, the sovereignty of righteousness, the law of love, the glory of service, the coming of the Kingdom, the eternal hope- there was never an interpretation of life to compare with that.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
-
Christ - an anarchist who succeeded.
Axel Munthe
-
I hope the Jews did kill Christ, I'd do it again in a second.
Sarah Silverman
-
There is a green hill far away, Without a city wall, Where the dear Lord was crucified, Who died to save us all.
Cecil Frances Alexander
-
Christ is the Master; the Scriptures are only the servant. The true way to test all the Books is to see whether they work the will of Christ or not. No Book which does not preach Christ can be apostolic, though Peter or Paul were its author. And no Book which does preach Christ can fail to be apostolic, although Judas, Ananias, Pilate, or Herod were its author.
Martin Luther
-
Ah, Christ, I love you rings to the wild sky And I must think a little of the past: When I was ten I told a stinking lie That got a black boy whipped...
Allen Tate

What has Ingeld to do with Christ?
Alcuin
-
At death, therefore, we shall enter into the garden: but only at the return of Christ and the resurrection can we obtain access to the tree of life which is in the midst of the Paradise of God,[208] and which seems to correspond to the actual place of the presence.
G. H. Pember
-
Christ changes men, who then change their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature.
Ezra Taft Benson
-
Christ is risen! There is life, therefore, after death! His resurrection is the symbol and pledge of universal resurrection!
Henry Ward Beecher
-
You will have found Christ when you are concerned with other people’s sufferings and not your own.
Flannery O'Connor
-
I may be a nut, but I'm fastened to a good bolt, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Adrian Rogers
-
The world is kept alive only by heretics: the heretic Christ, the heretic Copernicus, the heretic Tolstoy. Our symbol of faith is heresy...
Yevgeny Zamyatin
-
Christ did not die to save people, but to teach people how to save each other. This is, I have no doubt, a grave heresy, but it is also a fact.
Oscar Wilde
-
Christ exhausted the cup of God’s wrath. For all who trust in Him there is nothing more in the cup. It is empty.
Jerry Bridges
-
It is a time of darkness, of faith. We shall not see Christ's radiance in our lives yet; it is still hidden in our darkness; nevertheless, we must believe that He is growing in our lives; we must believe it so firmly that we cannot help relating everything, literally everything, to this almost incredible reality.
Caryll Houselander
-
Before all, and above all, attention shall be paid to the care of the sick, so that they shall be served as if they were Christ Himself.
Benedict of Nursia
-
Christ is sufficient. We do not need "support groups" for each and every separate tribulation. The most widely divergent sorrows may all be taken to the foot of the same old rugged cross and find there cleansing, peace, and joy.
Elisabeth Elliot
-
The Catholic novelist in the South will see many distorted images of Christ, but he will certainly feel that a distorted image of Christ is better than no image at all. I think he will feel a good deal more kinship with backwoods prophets and shouting fundamentalists than he will with those politer elements for whom the supernatural is an embarrassment and for whom religion has become a department of sociology or culture or personality development.
Flannery O'Connor
