Gold was a gift to Jesus. If it's good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me!
For years I thought my assignment or the Church's assignment was to articulate the Gospel and nothing more. Now I believe that if we don't support the verbal expression of the Gospel with physical demonstration of compassion, we are not imitating Jesus.
As burned as I've been by local churches and by people who call themselves in God's name, Jesus gave us the church. It's supposed to be a community of like-minded people who encourage and strengthen each other. But that's not how it always works.
Like many Catholics, I was very affected by the personality of Jesus and that impression, pious as it was, has stayed with me.
I remember thinking, That's what I need - and that hope was in Jesus Christ.
I thank God, Jesus, and my Grandmother for being able to support myself and my family.
Was Jesus the son of God? Yes. But so are you. You just haven't realized it yet.
I was raised Catholic and I'm Presbyterian now, but I've always been a Christian, regardless of denomination. I believe that Jesus is the way.
The moment you enlist in the army of God, you personally become a target. You need to remember that if you're living for and walking with Jesus Christ, the powers of darkness are aligned against you.
Not only did Jesus come as a universal gift, He came as an individual offering with a personal message to each one of us.
Jesus is the God whom we can approach without pride and before whom we can humble ourselves without despair.
I was raised with fear of God, guilt over Jesus, and terror of the Devil.
And I pray thee, loving Jesus, that as Thou hast graciously given me to drink in with delight the words of Thy knowledge, so Thou wouldst mercifully grant me to attain one day to Thee, the fountain of all wisdom and to appear forever before Thy face.
I long for a life that explodes with meaning and is filled with adventure, wonder, risk, and danger. I long for a faith that is gloriously treacherous. I want to be with Jesus, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.
You can never betray the people who are dead, so you go on being a public Jew; the dead can't answer slurs, but I'm here. I would love to think that Jesus wants me for a sunbeam, but he doesn't.
Fundamentalists believe Jesus was God becoming man. I believe that Jesus was man becoming God.
Swords appear strong, but they're actually quite weak. Jesus appears weak, but he's actually quite strong.
No revolution that has ever taken place in society can be compared to that which has been produced by the words of Jesus Christ.
If you want to understand Jesus, you have to study the whole Bible. Christian duty is not defined solely by the words in red.
I love what Monet, Picasso, Van Gogh and Jesus all said - that love is really the driving principle of the creative act. In fact, they would say that great art is always inspired by love.
I think it's also important for people to really see that your identity doesn't come just from what you do but who you are. My relationship with Jesus Christ is the most important thing to me. Because of that, I don't have to change whether I am one of the most popular guys in football.
If somebody wants to go to church because they like the ritual of it and want to sit in silence for a while one time a week, then that's great. If someone wants to go because they believe that God them and Jesus rose after three days, then that's great, too.
Never think that Jesus commanded a trifle, nor dare to trifle with anything He has commanded.
Jesus, Son of the Eternal God, have mercy on me.
The path I am trying so hard to follow is in fact the one that God my Father and His Son Jesus Christ want me to pursue. It has brought me deep happiness.
Blind people don't decide to see. Jesus says, 'See!' and they see.
I don't think that any political party should claim Jesus as being a part of a political party.
If we are busy in a hundred good things - even great things, gospel things, glorious things - but don't sit at the feet of Jesus, we are busy in the wrong ways.
I personally would not talk to a Jew for Jesus.
I know by experience that Jesus Christ is a very powerful spirit - I know by experience that he is probably the most powerful spirit in the universe. I know by experience he is not a mere human being. He is something beyond that.
Who was Jesus anyway? After twenty centuries, there is not much anyone can agree on. The four canonical gospels don't measure up to modern standards of biographical writing, and - outside of this material - there is precious little contemporary evidence, apart from a few glancing mentions of Jesus or the movement centered on him.
Any false religion ultimately is a deception of Satan, to try and keep people from the only way to Heaven, which is through faith in Jesus Christ.
So finally I came up with a thing that felt really pure, and I'm Christian, so when I hear about death I have a lot of hope because I believe in Jesus and life after death, and John 3:16.
When Christians start thinking about Jesus, things start breaking down, they lose their faith. It's perfectly possible to go to church every Sunday and not ask any questions, just because you like it as a way of life. They fear that if they ask questions they'll lose their Christ, the very linchpin of their religion.
But Jesus changes your attitude towards yourself and towards other people.
What shall I do then with Jesus, which is called Christ?
