If the only thing wrong with Moses is that he's not yours; if the only thing wrong with Jesus is that he's not yours; if the only thing wrong with mosques, Lent, chanting, Mecca, Buddha, confession, or reincarnation is that they're not yours--well, maybe the problem is you.
- Mitch Albom
She [the Virgin Mary] was normal. She had already had other children. The Bible tells us that Jesus had two brothers. Virginity, as it relates to Jesus, is based on a different thing: Mary initiated a new generation of grace. A new era began. She is the cosmic bride, Earth, which opens to the heavens and allows itself to be fertilized.
- Paulo Coelho
Nothing Personal? You've harrassed my mother, stolen my car, and now you're telling people I've gotten you pregnant! In my opinion, getting someone pregnant is pretty fucking personal! Jesus, isn't it enough I'm accused of murder? What are you the bounty hunter from hell?
- Janet Evanovich
In short, you can't have the truths without the Truth. Either Jesus is telling the truth about Himself, or He is lying about everything else too. None of this business about Jesus being merely an enlightened Buddha of sorts, offering wiser-than-average insights into how to live a healthy, balanced life. None of this quoting Jesus in order to make your own point about justice or fairness or peace on earth when you don't really believe what Jesus said about Himself.
- Sarah Arthur
Jesus isn't a logo, I'm not promoting some company, some brand. I'm just professing my faith.
- Stephen Baldwin
For the Christian, heaven is where Jesus is. We do not need to speculate on what heaven will be like. It is enough to know that we will be for ever with Him.
- William Barclay
Jesus is the God whom we can approach without pride and before whom we can humble ourselves without despair.
- Blaise Pascal
An understanding of Jesus is not a mere matter of intelligence. He has to be accepted by faith.
- Lloyd C Douglas
Jesus is God's way of refusing to give up his dream for the world.
- Rob Bell
As obvious as it is, then, Jesus is bigger than any one religion.
He didn't come to start a new religion, and he continually disrupted whatever conventions or systems or establishments that existed in his day. He will always transcend whatever cages and labels are created to contain him, especially the one called 'Christianity'.
- Rob Bell
Jesus is bigger than any one religion. He didn't come to start a new religion, and he continually disrupted whatever conventions or systems or establishments that existed in his day. He will always transcend whatever cages and labels are created to contain and name him, especially the one called Christianity.
- Rob Bell
... the Twelve Apostles are the most evident sign of Jesus' will regarding the existence and mission of his Church, the guarantee that between Christ and the Church there is no opposition: despite the sins of the people who make up the Church, they are inseparable. Therefore, a slogan that was popular some years back, 'Jesus yes, Church no,' is totally inconceivable with the intention of Christ. This individualistically chosen Jesus is an imaginary Jesus.
- Pope Benedict Xvi
For a Christian, Jesus is the unique and only way that God has fully revealed himself. For a Jew this cannot be.
- Lionel Blue
No one should be surprised at the difficulty of faith, if there is some part of his life where he is consciously resisting or disobeying the commandment of Jesus. Is there some part of your life which you are refusing to surrender at his behest, some sinful passion, maybe, or some animosity, some hope, perhaps your ambition or your reason?... How can you hope to enter into communion with him when at some point in your life you are running away from him?
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Only the man who follows the command of Jesus single-mindedly, and unresistingly lets his yoke rest upon him, finds his burden easy, and under its gentle pressure receives the power to persevere in the right way. The command of Jesus is hard, unutterably hard, for those who try to resist it. But for those who willingly submit, the yoke is easy, and the burden is light.
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer
You may never know that JESUS is all you need, until JESUS is all you have.
- Corrie Ten Boom
Jesus is an example. We have other examples, including many of our ancestors as role models who understood the inner meaning of our orientation.
- Malcolm Boyd
Suggesting a married Jesus is one thing, but questioning the Resurrection undermines the very heart of Christian belief.
- Dan Brown
Jesus is too colossal for the pen of phrasemongers, however artful. No man can dispose of Christianity with a bon mot
- Albert Einstein
We always know when Jesus is at work because He produces in the commonplace something that is inspiring.
- Oswald Chambers
I've always privately suspected that Jesus is in favor of revolutionaries, seeing as how he was a bit of one himself.
- G N Chevalier
I like Muhammad a lot, because he's like us more than anybody else. Jesus is just so exalted, and Buddha is just so exalted, it's almost beyond our reach.
- Deepak Chopra
I'm just not convinced that Jesus is going to say, When I was hungry, you gave a check to the United Way and they fed me.
- Shane Claiborne
How ironic is it to see a bumper sticker that says 'Jesus is the answer' next to a bumper sticker supporting the war in Iraq, as if to says 'Jesus is the answer - but not in the real world.
- Shane Claiborne
Jesus is who saved me. He's what keeps me full and whole.
- Miley Cyrus
God is with me. Jesus is near. The Spirit is greater than my fear.
- Ted Dekker
The difference between Socrates and Jesus is that no one had ever been put to death in Socrates' name. And that is because Socrates' ideas were never made law. Law, in whatever name, protects privilege.
- E L Doctorow
The problem then with Jesus is that he cannot be removed from his time and transplanted into our own without simply creating him anew
- Bart D Ehrman
I wanna love you,

Jesus is my virtue,
Judas is the demon I cling to

I was raised Catholic and I'm Presbyterian now, but I've always been a Christian, regardless of denomination. I believe that Jesus is the way.
- Patricia Heaton
Jesus is Santa Claus for Adults
- Christopher Hitchens
Jesus is a descendant of David, the beloved of God. Jesus is the only begotten Son of God who was born into this world and died and rose again. Saint John calls him the Word and the Light. When he died, he did so as atonement for our sins, and when he rose, he did so to defeat the power and curse of death and hell on this once-holy world. Do you believe in him?
- David Holdsworth
In a world of unrest and fear, political turmoil and moral drift, I testify that Jesus is the Christthat He is the living Bread and living Waterstill, yet, and always the great Shield of safety in our lives.
- Jeffrey R Holland
The good news is that Jesus is coming back. The bad news is that he's really pissed off.
- Bob Hope
Why worry about minor little details like clean air, clean water, safe ports and the safety net when Jesus is going to give the world an "Extreme Makeover: Planet Edition" right after he finishes putting Satan in his place once and for all?
- Arianna Huffington
Perhaps [the critics are right and] the drama is played out now and Jesus is safely dead and buried. Perhaps. It is ironical and entertaining to consider that at least once in the world's history those words might have been said with complete conviction, and that was on the eve of the Resurrection.
- Dorothy L Sayers
In my opinion, Jesus is God's attempt to reach man. But while I believe Jesus is the way to God, it makes no sense to hate people who disagree.
- Jerry B Jenkins

Brother and Sister So & So are not your standard; Jesus is.

I think if I'm 40 and I don't have any kids and I'm not married, I would have a baby artificially inseminated. I would feel like Mary - like Jesus is my baby.
- Kim Kardashian
Sept 15 1930 at the independence festival of the school of cretins...At the head of the table by the bowl of pomegranates, Senora Bartolome had put a note: Take only one, our Lord Jesus is watching!.
A second note appeared at the foot of the table beside the sugared almonds: Take all you want, Jesus is looking at the pomegranates.
- Barbara Kingsolver
If Jesus is the Son of God in human flesh, He's one of a kind of the 13 billions of people who have ever lived.
- Tim Lahaye
Jesus is busy with his own stuff, and is not going to get involved in your little tug-of-war. Plus, don't forget, he has his own mother to deal with. She's all he can handle, as far as mothers go.
- Anne Lamott
How many planets are there in the universe with people on them? We don't know, but we are not alone in the universe! God is not the God of only one planet!
I testify that Jesus is truly the Lord of the universe, "that by [Christ], and through him, and of him, the worlds are and were created, and the inhabitants thereof are begotten sons and daughters unto God" D&C 76:24
- Neal A Maxwell
...if I do not introduce people to Jesus, then I don't believe Jesus is an important person. It doesn't matter what I say.

Death may be the King of terrors... but Jesus is the King of kings!

It's not that Jesus is the copy of Israel coming out of Egypt, but that Israel coming out of Egypt was the copyin advanceof Jesus.

My eyes bulged. Will shifted uncomfortably next to me. I looked at him and his eyes met mine. "Jesus," I murmured.
"Nope," Nathaniel chirped. "Jesus isn't in here.
- Courtney Allison Moulton
To holy people the very name of Jesus is a name to feed upon, a name to transport. His name can raise the dead and transfigure and beautify the living.
- John Henry Newman
The longer a person has been dead the greater is the tradition... If Buddha is alive you can barely tolerate him.... You cannot believe this man has known the ultimate because he looks just like you... Hungry he needs food, sleepy he wants a bed, ill, he has to rest just like you... That is why Jesus is worshiped now and yet he was crucified when he was alive. Alive, you crucify him; dead, you worship him.
- Osho
Jesus came into the world with good news, not bad news. He does not call us to a willpower religion that feels only duty and no delight. He calls us to himself and to his Father. Therefore, he calls us to joy. Of course, it is not joy in things. Jesus is not preaching a health, wealth, and prosperity gospelone of America's most lamentable exports to the world. It is joy in God and in his Son.
- John Piper
The entire life and work of Jesus is one great argument why we should listen to his word. Page after page of the New Testament Gospels pile up reasons to turn off the television and listen to Jesus.
- John Piper
The picture of love and truth together is in Jesus. The challenge is to resist the temptation to think in terms of a mixture or recipe: 50% love and 50% truth. The historic creeds affirm Jesus as fully God AND fully human, and likewise with love and truth Jesus is fully truth and fully love; any less and He ceases to be fully God, and for this reason love and truth must not be separated..
- Michael M Rose
Movie Jesus is a whole lot different from Bible Jesus
- Lisa Samson
You can threaten a village wise woman with death and torture and she may say "jesus is lord" to survive, but you can never know what's really in her heart...that, I feel, is how the goddess survived centuries of history and hatred.
- Dianne Sylvan
The greatest encouragement throughout the Bible is God's love for His lost race and the willingness of Christ, the eternal Son, to show forth that love in God's plan of redemption. The love of Jesus is so inclusive that it knows no boundaries. At the point where we stop caring and loving, Jesus is still there loving and caring
- A W Tozer
The story of Jesus is very fascinating. It still has such a tremendous power, even after 2,000 years! We don't really know if he existed as a historical figure.
- Bjorn Ulvaeus
The doctrine of the Kingdom of Heaven, which was the main teaching of Jesus, is certainly one of the most revolutionary doctrines that ever stirred and changed human thought.
- H G Wells
No, the religion of Jesus is a social religion.
- George Whitefield
I'm in a band. I don't go to church every Sunday. I love punk rock music. Sometimes I use swear words a lot. I respect and admire gay men and women. I'm obsessed with horror films. I know what shame feels like. And guess what old man? Jesus is still my Savior.
- Hayley Williams
But we all suffer. For we all prize and love; and in this present existence of ours, prizing and loving yield suffering. Love in our world is suffering love. Some do not suffer much, though, for they do not love much. Suffering is for the loving. This, said Jesus, is the command of the Holy One: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." In commanding us to love, God invites us to suffer.
- Nicholas Wolterstorff
The point [of the gospels] is not whether Jesus is God, but what God is doing in and through Jesus. What is this embodied God up to?
- N T Wright
When I was younger I saw God as a mighty healer who did something for me, but after all these years of valleys and painful trials Jesus has become an ever-present friend who is with me all the time. He has gone from being an historical God to being a living God to me today. I've fallen short many times during these trials and testings, but he has always been faithful. Whenever I've asked him to help me he always has....Jesus is everything and we are nothing.
