Quote

The Jesus of the Scripture transcends all nations and calls all nations into judgment.

Jesus discouraged the accumulation of wealth, worried about its effects on those who had it, and took special pleasure in helping the poor, dedicating his efforts to them. He must have shaken his head at the large gaps between rich and poor throughout ancient Palestine in the first century.

I'm sure that Jesus was an incredible person.

Jesus was a human being, bound by history and the natural world; an extraordinary man, to be sure, but still a man.

Jesus did not only serve the needs of the people, but truly hoped that the people and Jesus would be one.

Jesus was nothing like I thought - He wasn't condemning. He was loving and leading.

You know, I think Jesus was famous and also in a lot of trouble because he always chose people over sort of established procedures.

Whether we want to acknowledge it or not, Jesus didn't do it the world's way. He came in and offended the world. He came in and did everything the wrong way.

Jesus viewed his own destiny - to be glorified in and through death - as an expression of a kind of cosmic principle: the pathway to life runs through death.

If Jesus Christ was who He claimed to be, and He did die on a cross at a point of time in history, then, for all history past and all history future it is relevant because that is the very focal point for forgiveness and redemption.
