Quotes about jesus
jesus storm truth-is
Jesus' life was a storm of controversy. The apostles, like the prophets before them, could hardly go a day without controversy. Paul said that he debated daily in the marketplace. To avoid controversy is to avoid Christ. We can have peace, but it is a servile and carnal peace where truth is slain in the streets. R. C. Sproul
jesus perfect christ
The grounds of your justification are the perfect works of Jesus Christ. We're saved by works, but they're not our own. R. C. Sproul
jesus love-is men
Holiness provokes hatred. The greater the holiness, the greater the human hostility toward it. It seems insane. No man was ever more loving than Jesus Christ. Yet even His love made people angry. His love was a perfect love, a transcendent and holy love, but HIs very love brought trauma to people. This kind of love is so majestic we can't stand it. R. C. Sproul
jesus touching human-nature
Touching His human nature, Jesus is no longer present with us. Touching his Divine nature, He is never absent from us. R. C. Sproul
jesus genuine-love obedience
Genuine love for Jesus manifests itself in obedience to His commandments. R. C. Sproul
jesus men christ
The only freedom that man ever has is when he becomes a slave to Jesus Christ. R. C. Sproul
jesus sin insisting
Why do those who keep insisting Jesus hung out with sinners also keep insisting there's no such thing as sin? R. C. Sproul
jesus ideas giving
When you feel pure intelligence flowing into you, it may give you sudden strokes of ideas, so that by noticing it, you may find it fulfilled the same day or soon; (i.e.) those things that were presented unto your minds by the Spirit of God, will come to pass; and thus by learning the Spirit of God and understanding it, you may grow into the principle of revelation, until you become perfect in Christ Jesus. Joseph Smith, Jr.
jesus angel men
Baptism is a sign to God, to angels, and to heaven that we do the will of God, and there is no other way beneath the heavens whereby God hath ordained for man to come to Him to be saved, and enter into the kingdom of God, except faith in Jesus Christ, repentance, and baptism for the remission of sins, and any other course is in vain; then you have the promise of the gift of the Holy Ghost. Joseph Smith, Jr.
jesus world christ
Salvation could not come to the world without the mediation of Jesus Christ. Joseph Smith, Jr.
jesus hate heart
The words of Jesus, including those Jefferson and the Jesus Seminar have blue-pencilled, have a unique permanence. They don't merely survive as aphoristic wisdom; they have an authority in our hearts, even when we try to deny them. They command. We can obey or rebel. That is why Jesus is still not only loved but hated - and why those who hate him feel they have to profess to love him. Joseph Sobran
jesus years greek
Edited by mostly unknown scholars in A.D. 367, compiled from documents written 30 to 110 years after the Christ event by no one who was present at the events, and composed for the most part by unknown authors in the Greek language that Jesus never spoke, it is held up as the only true record of the Christ story. Leonard Shlain
jesus people
Evangelization is leading people to Jesus, not ourselves. Paul George
jesus writing simple
. I did an interview earlier and somebody asked me if I [knew I] was onto something back when I was first writing. I said, "Yeah. I always thought I was good." We're not the Beatles or Led Zeppelin or AC/DC. But Helmet always sounded like Helmet, and we sort of developed our own sound. There's a vocabulary that's kind of universal now that's very simple. My friendDavid Sims, [the bassist] in Jesus Lizard, said, "I wish I'd thought of it." When you first hear it, it's like, "Oh duh." But that's cool. Page Hamilton
jesus prayer views
Can Jesus Christ see the agony of His soul in us? He can't unless we are so closely identified with Him that we have His view concerning the people for whom we pray. May we learn to intercede so wholeheartedly that Jesus Christ will be completely and overwhelmingly satisfied with us as intercessors. Oswald Chambers
jesus attitude sacred
Let the attitude of your life be a continual willingness to "go out" in dependence upon God, and your life will have a sacred and inexpressible charm about it that is very satisfying to Jesus. You must learn to "go out" through your convictions, creeds, or experiences until you come to the point in your faith where there is nothing between yourself and God. Oswald Chambers
jesus spring purpose
No enthusiasm will ever stand the strain that Jesus Christ will put upon His worker, only one thing will, and that is a personal relationship to Himself which has gone through the mill of His spring-cleaning until there is only one purpose left--I am here for God to send me where He will. Oswald Chambers
jesus judging use
God plants His saints in the most useless places. We say, 'God intends me to be here because I am so useful.' Jesus never estimated His life along the line of the greatest use. God puts His saints where they will glorify Him, and we are no judge at all of where that is. Oswald Chambers
jesus book issues
The Bible was the only book Jesus ever quoted, and then never as a basis for discussion but to decide the point at issue. Leon Morris
jesus easter heaven
The resurrection power of Jesus broke Satan's captive power. When He led the Old Testament saints from paradise to heaven, He led captivity captive! Leon Morris
jesus suffering remove
Jesus did not come to explain away suffering or remove it. He came to fill it with His Presence. Paul Claudel
jesus people leader
As a servant leader the way you serve the vision is by developing people so that they can work on that vision even when you're not around. The ultimate sin of an effective servant leader is what happens when you are not there. That was the power of Jesus' leadership-the leaders He trained went on to change the world when He was no longer with them in bodily form. Ken Blanchard
jesus facts
In fact, .. Jesus is mentioned 75 times in the Koran. Ken Blanchard
jesus taken politics
They probably would've taken Jesus if he hadn't been nailed down. Kinky Friedman
jesus christ-consciousness dying
I was like you are. I thought Jesus came and died on the cross. Jesus' being here was about his death and dying on the cross but it really was about him coming to show us how to do it. To show us the Christ-consciousness that he had and that conciousness abides in all of us. That's what I got. That's what I got. Oprah Winfrey
jesus heart holy
The heart of Jesus glowed, because it was holy. Holy things glowed in general. Margaret Atwood
jesus fall animal
Anything that suffers and dies instead of us is Christ; if they didn't kill birds and fish they would have killed us. The animals die that we may live, they are substitute people, hunters in the fall killing the deer, that is Christ also. And we eat them, out of cans or otherwise; we are eaters of death, dead Christ-flesh resurrecting inside us, granting us life. Canned Spam, canned Jesus, even the plants must be Christ. Margaret Atwood
jesus jobs home
Well, I just said that Jesus and I were both Jewish and that neither of us ever had a job, we never had a home, we never married and we traveled around the countryside irritating people. Kinky Friedman
jesus hell ifs
If you don't love Jesus-go to hell! Kinky Friedman
jesus believe son
Commander I believe in God and his son Jesus Christ and because I do I can say this. Private Santiago is dead and that is a tragedy. But he is dead because he had no code. He is dead because he had no honor. And God was watching. Kiefer Sutherland
jesus rocks people
Bringing people together is one of my favorite things... I believed that's what a rock 'n' roll Jesus would really do - bring people together through music. Kid Rock
jesus art philosophy
Thinking is the subtlest form of self-polemics, the art of a certain finesse in psychological self-vivisection and self-crucifixion (Hegel of course called the path of self-disillusion the via dolorosa or "highway of despair," in Baillie's fine and florid rendering, like Jesus' route to Golgotha). Kenny Smith
jesus suffering doe
We aren't really called to save the world-not even to save one person; Jesus does that. We are just called to love with abandon. We are called to enter into our neighbors' sufferings and love them right there. Katie Davis
