Quotes about Jesus

In the silence of our hearts, God speaks of His love; with our silence, we allow Jesus to love us.

Love was the bedrock of Jesus' life, the very reason He came to seek and save the lost.

Jesus recognized that love is greater than like.

The only way we can enjoy a relationship with God is by coming to Jesus Christ, our hands outstretched and empty, and saying, "Lord, I want to follow you. Please take me into your family, wash me clean, give me new clothes and make me more like you." And Jesus will do exactly that. He will take us as we are and assure us that we are his forever. Then—slowly at first, but surely—he will mold us and shape us until we look just like him.

I don't think Jesus is any more laissez-faire today than he was when he walked this earth in human flesh.

To love as Jesus loves we have to put truth telling ahead of peace keeping. We also have to put the other person's well-being ahead of the comfort level of our relationship.

Jesus didn't come to earth to establish a new religion. He came to restore a broken relationship. He came to make the primary, primary again. The secondary activity of obedience to the law of God was always intended to serve the primary activity: to love God and enjoy Him forever. When that is primary, the secondary becomes a labor of love, a joyful, and easy burden to bear. (Matthew 11:28-30)

Jesus has prepared the way and has made following our destiny possible, whereas we are helpless by ourselves. We can find and fulfill our purpose by responding to the clear, simple call of Jesus Christ: Follow Me. He is the doorway to fulfilling our destiny, where our divine design and God-ordained purpose live in perfect harmony.

Good intentions and earnest effort are not enough. Only Jesus can make an otherwise futile life productive.

Jesus never commanded believers to produce fruit. Fruit is the *purpose* of the branch, but it is not the *responsibility* of the branch. The branch cannot produce anything on it's own. However, if it remains attached to the vine, it will receive life-sustaining sap, nourishment, strength, everything it needs.

Jesus plan called for action, and how He expressed it predicted its success. He didn't say you *might* be my witnesses, or you *could* be my witnesses, or even you *should* be my witnesses. He said you *will* be my witnesses.

The abundance Jesus offers is a spiritual abundance that transcends circumstances, like income, health, living conditions, and even death. The abundant life is eternal.
