I have never felt comfortable around people who talk about their feelings for Jesus, or any other deity for that matter, because they are usually none too bright...

The true religion of Jesus Christ our Saviour is that which penetrates, and which receives all the warmth of the heart, and all the elevation of the soul, and all the energies of the understanding, and all the strength of the will.

In the true, original, catholic, evangelical religion of Jesus Christ, and in this alone, all the divided religions of Christendom find their union, their repose, their support.

The Lord Jesus himself proclaims, 'This is My Body.' Before the blessing of the heavenly words something of another character is spoken of; after consecration it is designated 'body'. He himself speaks of his blood. Before the consecration it is spoken of as something else; after the consecration it is spoken of as 'blood'. And you say, 'Amen', that is, 'It is true.' What the mouth speaks, let the mind within confess; what the tongue utters, let the heart feel.

As the print of the seal on the wax is the express image of the seal itself, so Christ is the express image - the perfect representation of God.

When we speak about peace, we are speaking about Christ. When we speak about truth and life and redemption, we are speaking about Christ.
