I know that His love is better than life! Is this true for you? Jesus changed my life in a single moment, an encounter, His love came rushing in. He took my brokenness and made something beautiful. He can do the same for you, all you have to do is ask Him.
Jesus Christ

The New Testament insists that we put Jesus at the centre of the picture and work outwards from there. The minute we find ourselves looking at the world around us and jumping to conclusions about God and what he might be doing, but without looking carefully at Jesus, we are in serious danger of forcing through an ‘interpretation’ which might look attractive – it might seem quite ‘spiritual’ and awe-inspiring – but which actually screens Jesus out of the picture. As the old saying has it, if he is not Lord of all, he is not Lord at all.

The glorious, central fact of Christianity is that God has made a full and final revelation of Himself which has made Him understandable, accessible, and desirable to the simplest and most fearful of us.
Philip Yancey
In his social contacts, Jesus went out of his way to embrace the unloved and unworthy, the folks who matter little to the rest of society but matter infinitely to God. People with leprosy quarantined outside the city wall, Jesus touched, even as his disciples shrank back in disgust. A ‘half-breed’ woman who had gone through five husbands already and was no doubt the center of the town’s gossip industry, Jesus tapped as his first missionary. Another woman, too full of shame over her embarrassing condition to approach Jesus face to face, grabbed his robe, hoping he would not notice. He did notice. She learned, like so many other ‘nobodies,’ that you can’t easily escape Jesus’ gaze. We matter too much.
Michael Koulianos
Jesus is not your homeboy, He’s the King of glory, which means He can tell you what to do. Jesus is not a life coach. He’s the Lord of the Lords.
William Tyndale
He is our Redeemer, Deliverer, Reconciler, Mediator, Intercessor, Advocate, Attorney, Solicitor, our Hope, Comfort, Shield, Protection, Defender, Strength, Health, Satisfaction and Salvation. His blood, his death, all that he ever did, is ours. And Christ himself, with all that he is or can do, is ours… And God (as great as he is) is mine, with all that he has, through Christ and his purchasing.
Herman Bavinck
Christ is not the founder of Christianity, nor the first confessor of it, nor the first Christian. But He is Christianity itself, in its preparation, fulfillment, and consummation
Kamran and Suzy Yaraei
Jesus was the perfect offering for imperfect humans. The best thing to offer to the Father is his Son. In any other religion, people make sacrifices to God, but in Christianity God made the ultimate sacrifice to us.
Max Lucado
The church of our Lord began with a group of frightened men in an upper room. Allow Jesus to come into your upper room and stand before you. Run your fingers over his feet. Place your hand in the pierced side. And look into those eyes. Those same eyes that melted the gates of hell and sent Satan running. Look at them as they look at you. You’ll never be the same.
Ray Stedman
This is why the Bible was written. It is all about Jesus Christ, from Genesis to Revelation — in symbol, in story, in marvelous prophetic vision, in simple narrative account, in history, in poetry, in everything – it is all about Jesus Christ. He is the secret of the book.
