Quotes About Christ

When Jesus said 'THIS do in remembrance of ME,' he was contrasting the New Covenant, and its remembrance sign, with the Old Covenant and its remembrance sign. He was saying, "Instead of keeping the sabbath in remembrance of the old creation and Israel's redemption, THIS do in remembrance of me and the deliverance I have accomplished at Calvary." In other words, remember and think about what the new creation is and how Christ brought it about.

I being now upright without it, and that too with that righteousness, with which this law speaks well of and approveth; I may not, will not, cannot, dare not, make it my Saviour and Judge, nor suffer it to set up its government in my conscience; for so doing I fall from grace, and Christ doth profit me nothing.22

I'm so thankful for the active obedience of Christ. No hope without it.

the Virgin Mary, Mary Magdalene and Mary the wife of Clopas, who stood by the cross at the crucifixion of Christ.

All that the Lord thy God commands thee to do, that do thou to the Lord thy God: add nothing to it, diminish nothing from it.' By this rule, think I, the Kirk of Christ will measure God's religion, and not by that which seems good in their own eyes.

No man is so regenerate, but that continually he has need of the means which Christ Jesus has appointed to be used in his kirk.

The silence of this age is an exclamatory silence. God has stopped talking because all that needs to be said has been summed up in the person of Christ. Those who preach do not come with a new word. Instead, they declare and apply that which has already been said. Like the apostle Paul, the preacher's message is shaped by a determination to "know nothing … except Jesus Christ and him crucified" (1 Cor. 2:2).

Christianity is a matter of willing God's will and through Christ become one with it.

Thor was probably the most important god of late paganism, as is suggested by the presentation in medieval Scandinavian sources of the conversion as a struggle between Thor and Christ.

Snorri sets Thor in that environment; that is, he tells us that there was a historical figure whom the Nordic peoples called Thor who lived before Christ was born and who performed historical acts (it is important to remember that berserks and dragons were not as fantastic to medieval historians as they seem to us) that look very much like some of the myths about Thor that later were to be told by the Nordic peoples.

Antes que cualquier otra relación, Cristo debe ser nuestra prioridad máxima. Cristo busca un compromiso basado en la convicción, no en la preferencia; es decir, debemos consagrarnos a Cristo por lo que él es y por lo que ha hecho por nosotros, no por alguna ventaja inmediata que puedan aportar nuestra fe y nuestro compromiso con él.

How could I ever love anything else, once having been loved of thee? I can't comprehend thy logic, Father of lies. Both ends against the middle. Like a two-headed serpent devouring itself. Christ. What canst thou hope maintain?" Lucifer smiled only and into the sadness of that smile Kit knew the answer. "Oh. For the love of God.

Peace, pussycat." There was-Christ-pride in Baines' voice; the tone was enough to make Kit wish he had something in his gut to vomit. "I'd rather burn a cathedral than see thee come to any lasting harm. What a waste of eighteen years' work that would be.

Ascensión yo soy la luz de la Ascensión fluye libre la victoria aquí, todo lo Bueno ganado al fin por toda la eternidad. yo soy Luz, desvanecido todo peso en el aire ahora me elevo; con el pleno poder de Dios en el cielo mi canto de alabanza a todos expreso. ¡Salve! yo soy el Cristo Viviente, un ser de amor por siempre. ¡Ascendido ahora con el Poder de Dios yo soy un sol resplandeciente!

They are truly peacemakers who amidst all they suffer in this world maintain peace in soul and body for the love of our Lord Jesus Christ. WRITINGS OF SAINT FRANCIS

Conservative Romans thought, as have conservatives ever since, that there was something unmanly about overdeveloped aesthetic interests. They exemplified what might be called a 'muscular paganism' – a cast of religion that was to resurface, notably, in the nineteenth century, this time with Christ, not Jupiter, as its figurehead.

To be a religious man in the second century was to be a man of power, not of self-denial and a democratic spirit. (Hence, in part, the eventually perceived threat of the cult of Christ – and to others, of course, its attraction.)

one century after the death of Christ he raised a very ordinary, if beautiful, Greek boy to be the last pagan god of ancient Rome.

The wisdom Socrates had brought to the Greeks, Clement asserted, Jesus had brought to the Jews and other barbarians. In fact, Socrates and Jesus were spiritual brothers. Just as Plato and Aristotle founded schools to teach disciples, so now Christ was the new "schoolmaster" of the human race.

The example of Saint Socrates, as Erasmus once called him, would gently lead everyone to see that the soul's highest goal is wisdom and that the "philosophy of Christ" (philosophia Christi) is the highest form of wisdom there is.

Christ is the Divine answer to the Devil's overthrow of our first parents.

It is by doctrine (through the power of the Spirit) that believers are nourished and edified, and where doctrine is neglected, growth in grace and effective witnessing for Christ necessarily cease. How sad then that doctrine is now decried as "unpractical" when, in fact, doctrine is the very base of the practical life.

Our salvation is not "according to our works;" that is to say, it is not due to anything in us, nor the rewarding of anything from us; instead, it is the result of God's own "purpose and grace;" and this grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.

It is in the presence of God alone that the Christian can exert his spiritual energies with effect. Abiding in Christ, maintains us in that presence. A more unhappy error cannot befall a believer than to separate, in the habit of his mind, acquired knowledge from the living Christ.
