Jesus had a universal concern for those who suffered that transcended the rules of the ancient world.

Jesus Christ belonged to the true race of prophets. He saw with open eye the mystery of the soul. Drawn by its severe harmony, ravished with its beauty, he lived in it and had his being there. Alone in all history, he estimated the greatness of man.

I found you can believe the man in history that is Jesus who walked the earth. It's a whole different thing altogether to know Him as the Son of God - to have reconciled yourself to Almighty God.

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

The point of Jesus' existence wasn't to lessen or diminish our appreciation of each other, but to expand our appreciation of each other by reminding us what lies within all of us, because Jesus was an example of the pinnacle of human evolution.

Don't you believe that there is in man a deep so profound as to be hidden even to him in whom it is?

Jesus was happy when people acknowledged his dignity and saddened when they did not, but he never sought their esteem or regard.

I'm sure that Jesus was an incredible person.

Thanks to the restored gospel, we know our spirits lived before we were born into this mortal existence.

The more I started studying the historical Jesus, the man who lived 2,000 years ago... the more I started to realize that there was this chasm between the historical Jesus and the Jesus that I had been taught about in church.
