I love good quotes. If you follow me on Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn, you will notice that I post a lot of quotes, mostly other peoples quotes, but some of my own.
When I think about the greatest quotes of all time I immediately think about Jesus!
In all of history, no one’s words have had as much of a profound impact as that of Jesus Christ. Most of Jesus’ quotes are found in the four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, which record the life, teachings, and actions of Jesus.
Jesus’s love for humanity is evident in everything He did, said, and revealed to us.
Jesus stands alone as the only person to have walked this Earth, and was completely sinless.
His incredible influence has forever altered the course of history. His sacrificial death on a cross, his burial and then his amazing resurrection are what makes Jesus unique, and distinct from any other religions.
No other God became man, lived among us, taught, healed, discipled and challenged a group of followers that would go on and change the world forever.
His actions and words continue to inspire us daily, urging us to embrace our own challenges, confident that He will walk alongside us, drawing us nearer to Him.
