I have died many times. I have actually beaten Jesus Christ because he only died once.
Robert Mugabe
I have succumbed countless times. I have outdone Jesus Christ as he only passed away once.
2.
The reason the world is not seeing Jesus is that Christian people are not filled with Jesus. They are satisfied with attending meetings weekly, reading the Bible occasionally, and praying sometimes. It is an awful thing for me to see people who profess to be Christians lifeless, powerless, and in a place where their lives are so parallel to unbelievers’ lives that it is difficult to tell which place they are in, whether in the flesh or in the Spirit.
Smith Wigglesworth

Lord Jesus, You are my righteousness, I am your sin. You took on you what was mine; yet set on me what was yours. You became what you were not, that I might become what I was not.
Martin Luther
'Lord Jesus, You are my justification, I am your transgression. You assumed what was mine; yet bestowed upon me what was yours. You morphed into something else, so that I could become something new.'
4.
Do not worship me, I am not God. I'm only a man. I worship Jesus Christ.
Haile Selassie
'Do not venerate me, I am not Divine. I'm just a human being. My devotion is to Jesus Christ.'
5.
And ain't I a woman? Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And ain't I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man - when I could get it - and bear the lash as well! And ain't I a woman? I have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother's grief, none but Jesus heard me! And ain't I a woman?
Sojourner Truth

Today, Jesus stands ready to hear your cry and to answer prayer for you. He is interested in every detail of your life. He knows you better than you know yourself.
Kathryn Kuhlman
Today, Jesus is prepared to listen attentively to your supplication and respond to prayer for you. He is mindful of every component of your life. He understands you better than you comprehend yourself.
7.
The closer you come to Jesus, the more faulty you will appear in your own eyes; for your vision will be clearer, and your imperfections will be seen in broad and distinct contrast to His perfect nature.
Ellen G. White

Don't worry, Even Jesus never saw his real father
J. Cole
"No need to fret, even Christ never encountered his true dad."
9.
One of the greatest distinguishing marks of false prophet is that he will always tell you what you want to hear, he will never rain on your parade; he will get you clapping, he will get you jumping, he will make you dizzy, he will keep you entertained, and he will present a Christianity to you that will make your church look like a six flags over Jesus.
Paul Washer
10.
There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus.
Paul the Apostle
'No distinctions remain; all are unified in the embrace of Christ.'
11.
Arabia was idolatrous when,
six centuries after Jesus,
Muhammad introduced the worship of the God of Abraham,
of Ishmael,
of Moses,
and Jesus.
The Ariyans and some other sects had disturbed the tranquility of the east by agitating the question of the nature of the Father,
the son,
and the Holy Ghost.
Muhammad declared that there was none but one God who had no father,
no son and that the trinity imported the idea of idolatry.
Napoleon Bonaparte
12.
The Christian faith, simply stated, reminds us that our fundamental problem is not moral; rather, our fundamental problem is spiritual. It is not just that we are immoral, but that a moral life alone cannot bridge what separates us from God. Herein lies the cardinal difference between the moralizing religions and Jesus' offer to us. Jesus does not offer to make bad people good but to make dead people alive.
Ravi Zacharias
13.
You may say, 'God doesn't hate anybody. God is love.' No, my friend. You need to understand something. Jesus Christ taught, the prophets taught, the apostles taught this: that apart from the grace of God revealed in Jesus Christ our Lord the only thing left for you is the wrath, the fierce anger of God because of your rebellion and your sin.
Paul Washer
14.
Moses has revealed the existence of God to his nation.
Jesus Christ to the Roman world,
Muhammad to the old continent.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Moses demonstrated the presence of God to his people. Jesus proclaimed it to the Roman Empire, and Muhammad expounded it to the old world.
15.
If Jesus Christ isn't strong enough to motivate you to live biblically, you don't know Him at all.
Paul Washer
If the example of Jesus Christ does not inspire you to live according to the Scriptures, then you are unfamiliar with Him.
16.
Let us pray for ourselves, that we may not lose the word “concern” out of our Christian vocabulary. Let us pray for our nation. Let us pray for those who have never known Jesus Christ and redeeming love, for moral forces everywhere, for our national leaders. Let prayer be our passion. Let prayer be our practice.
Robert E. Lee
17.
The devil is afraid of us when we pray and make sacrifices. He is also afraid when we are humble and good. He is especially afraid when we love Jesus very much. He runs away when we make the Sign of the Cross.
Anthony of Padua
18.
People say the cross is a sign of how much man is worth. That’s not true. The cross is a sign of how depraved we really are, that it took the death of God’s own Son. The only thing that could save a people like us was the death of God’s own Son under the wrath of His own Father paying the price, rising again from the dead. Powerful to say, this is the Gospel of Jesus.
Paul Washer
19.
For Jesus, there are no countries to be conquered, no ideologies to be imposed, no people to be dominated. There are only children, women and men to be loved.
Henri Nouwen
For Jesus, there is no triumph over nations, nor any notion to be enforced, no individuals to be subdued. Rather, only sons and daughters, wives and husbands to be cherished.
20.
All of the great prophets of modern times have come from the desert and were uneducated: Mohammed, Jesus and myself.
Muammar al-Gaddafi
'All of the renowned visionaries of contemporary times have originated from the arid lands and lacked formal schooling: Mohammed, Jesus, and myself.'
21.
Because God has made us for Himself, our hearts are restless until they rest in Him.
Saint Augustine
Our souls yearn for divine connection until they are fulfilled in the Lord.
22.
Eighty and six years have I served Christ, nor has He ever done me any harm. How, then, could I blaspheme my King who saved Me?....I bless Thee for deigning me worthy of this day and this hour that I may be among Thy martyrs and drink the cup of my Lord Jesus Christ.
Polycarp
23.
Radical Christians are not people who wear Christian t-shirts. Radical Christians are those who bear fruit of the Holy Spirit...A little boy, Andrew, a Muslim shot him five times through the stomach and left him on a sidewalk simply because he said, 'I am so afraid, but I can not deny Jesus Christ! Please don't kill me! But I will not deny Him!' He died in a pool of blood, and you talk about being a radical Christian because you wear a t-shirt!
Paul Washer
24.
I've always considered Christ to be one of the greatest revolutionaries in the history of humanity.
Fidel Castro
I have long thought of Jesus as one of the most influential reformers in human history.
25.
We must not seek the child Jesus in the pretty figures of our Christmas cribs. We must seek him among the undernourished children who have gone to bed at night with nothing to eat, among the poor newsboys who will sleep covered with newspapers in doorways.
Oscar Romero
26.
I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Paul the Apostle
I persist towards the objective to gain the reward for which God has summoned me to celestial heights in Christ Jesus.
27.
Love is a commitment that will be tested in the most vulnerable areas of spirituality, a commitment that will force you to make some very difficult choices. It is a commitment that demands that you deal with your lust, your greed, your pride, your power, your desire to control, your temper, your patience, and every area of temptation that the Bible clearly talks about. It demands the quality of commitment that Jesus demonstrates in His relationship to us.
Ravi Zacharias
28.
You're looking at me as though I'm weird. My god! Are you so out of touch with most of America, most of which believes in the devil? I mean, Jesus Christ believed in the devil! It's in the Gospels! You travel in circles that are so, so removed from mainstream America that you are appalled that anybody would believe in the devil! Most of mankind has believed in the devil, for all of history. Many more intelligent people than you or me have believed in the devil.
Antonin Scalia
29.
There are serious mistakes - among them the one saying that Jesus came as a messenger for other people other than the sons of Israel... Christianity is not a faith for people in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas. Other people who are not sons of Israel have nothing to do with that religion... It is a mistake that another religion exists alongside Islam. There is only one religion which is Islam after Mohammed... All those believers who do not follow Islam are losers.
Muammar al-Gaddafi
30.
We are commanded to love God with all our strength, heart, mind and soul and our neighbor in the same way God loves us - it is the same love flowing between God and the soul - the soul and its neighbor. It is difficult, but the burden of the cross is light compared to the cross of uncontrolled emotions, anger, insistence on one's own opinion, the frustration of trying to change others rather than being changed oneself, resentment, regrets and guilt. Accepting the present moment like Jesus did is certainly a lighter burden.
Mother Angelica
31.
Jesus did not heal the sick in order to coax them to be Christians. He healed because it was His nature to heal.
John G. Lake
Jesus did not cure the ailing to persuade them to become Christians. He cured out of His innate inclination to heal.
32.
You can't go to Heaven hating somebody. Forgive now. Be compassionate now. Be patient now. Be grateful now. Love Jesus and Mary now. Accept God's will now.
Mother Angelica
"Do not wait until it is too late to make amends - offer mercy, show forbearance, be thankful, revere Jesus and the Virgin Mary, and accept the Lord's plan without delay."
33.
I come, O Lord, unto Thy sanctuary to see the life and food of my soul. As I hope in Thee, O Lord, inspire me with that confidence which brings me to Thy holy mountain. Permit me, Divine Jesus, to come closer to Thee, that my whole soul may do homage to the greatness of Thy majesty; that my heart, with its tenderest affections, may acknowledge Thine infinite love; that my memory may dwell on the admirable mysteries here renewed every day, and that the sacrifice of my whole being may accompany Thine.
Clare of Assisi
34.
We ought to be living as if Jesus died yesterday, rose this morning, and is coming back this afternoon.
Adrian Rogers
We should be conducting our lives as if Jesus had recently passed away, been resurrected today, and is returning this afternoon.
35.
I'd rather be able to pray than to be a great preacher; Jesus Christ never taught his disciples how to preach, but only how to pray.
Dwight L. Moody
I'd prefer to be able to supplicate rather than be an eloquent orator; Jesus Christ never instructed his followers how to extol, but only how to intercede.
36.
When Jesus died on the cross and cried out, 'It is finished!' He not only died for our sins, but for our diseases too.
Kathryn Kuhlman
When Jesus expired on the cross and exclaimed, 'All is accomplished!' He not only passed away for our transgressions, but also for our sicknesses.
37.
Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grapsed, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearnace as a man, he humbled himself and becamse obedient to death-even death on a cross!
Paul the Apostle
38.
The Bible is the story of two gardens: Eden and Gethsemane. In the first, Adam took a fall. In the second, Jesus took a stand. In the first, God sought Adam. In the second, Jesus sought God. In Eden, Adam hid from God. In Gethsemane, Jesus emerged from the tomb. In Eden, Satan led Adam to a tree that led to his death. From Gethsemane, Jesus went to a tree that led to our life.
Max Lucado
39.
Jesus Himself has already paid the price for your sins, so stop condemning yourself! Today, when you look into the mirror, what do you see? Do you see yourself trapped in all your failings, mistakes, and sins? Or do you see what God sees? My dear friend, when God sees you today, He sees Jesus. Use your eyes of faith and believe that as Jesus is, so are you. In God’s eyes, you are righteous, you are favored, you are blessed, and you are healed. You are freed from all sin, all pangs of guilt, all forms of condemnation, and every bondage of addiction!
Joseph Prince
40.
Look within, get depressed; Look around, get distressed; Look to Jesus, find perfect rest.
Joseph Prince
Examine inward, become disheartened; Observe outwardly, become anguished; Turn to Christ, find complete solace.
41.
If Jesus had preached the same message that ministers preach today, He would never have been crucified.
Leonard Ravenhill
If Jesus had proclaimed the same doctrine that pastors promulgate presently, He would never have been executed.
42.
If you are doing nothing, God doesn't need to give you any help in doing nothing. Go out and do something impossible for Jesus, and then God will help you.
Reinhard Bonnke
'If you are being idle, God doesn't need to assist you in idleness. Make a venture for Jesus that appears unattainable, and then God will aid you.'
43.
Jesus did not promise to change the circumstances around us. He promised great peace and pure joy to those who would learn to believe that God actually controls all things.
Corrie Ten Boom
Jesus did not vow to alter the environment around us. He pledged immense tranquillity and supreme delight to those who would come to accept that God holds sway over all matters.
44.
There is a great destructive force that comes upon us when we start comparing ourselves in the flesh with what we could be spiritually. We should never compare what we are with what we could be, because we will always be down on ourselves when we do this. Just look to Jesus and what He is. As long as we look to Jesus we will go toward Him. When we look at our inferiority we will go toward it.
Smith Wigglesworth
45.
Alexander,
Caesar,
Charlemagne,
and I have founded empires.
But on what did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon force.
Jesus Christ founded his empire upon love;
and at this hour millions of men would die for him.
Napoleon Bonaparte
46.
God has privileged us in Christ Jesus to live above the ordinary human plane of life. Those who want to be ordinary and live on a lower plane can do so, but as for me, I will not.
Smith Wigglesworth
God has blessed us in Christ Jesus to exist beyond the customary human level of life. Though some may choose to remain common and stay on a lower tier, I will not follow suit.
47.
Truth is one, though the sages know it as many . God is one, though different religions approach Him differently Call Him Shiva, Vishnu, Allah, Jesus or any other form of God that you believe in . Our paths may be different. Our destination is the same.
Amish Tripathi
48.
The secret of Christianity is in being. It is in being a possessor of the nature of Jesus Christ.
John G. Lake
The essence of Christianity lies in embodying the attributes of Jesus Christ.
49.
Jesus did not die for pastors to have a well paid job. Neither was He raised on the cross just to raise our standard of living. He died to seek and to save those who are lost.
Reinhard Bonnke
Jesus did not sacrifice Himself for ministers to receive a lucrative remuneration. Nor was He resurrected from the dead merely to enhance our quality of life. He perished to seek and redeem those who are straying.
50.
It does not matter what your personal deficiency, or whether it be a hundred and one different things, God has always one sufficient answer, His Son Jesus Christ, and he is the answer to every need.
Watchman Nee
No matter what difficulties you face, God has a single solution - His beloved Son Jesus Christ, who can meet every requirement.
