Jesus Christ – The Name Above All Names

There is no better news, than the fact that Jesus can actually turn a life upside down and save it.

Our problem is this: we usually discover him within some denominational or Christian ghetto. We meet him in a province and, having caught some little view, we paint him in smaller strokes. The Lion of Judah is reduced to something kittenish because our understanding cannot, at first, write larger definitions.

The dearest friend on earth is a mere shadow compared to Jesus Christ.

Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn’t argue with that; I’m right and I will be proved right. We’re more popular than Jesus now; I don’t know which will go first – rock and roll or Christianity.

Only Christ could have conceived Christ.

Jesus is just a word I use to swear with.

Jesus Christ was an extremist for love, truth and goodness.

A man who was completely innocent, offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and became the ransom of the world. It was a perfect act.

Jesus is the God whom we can approach without pride and before whom we can humble ourselves without despair.

I am an historian, I am not a believer, but I must confess as a historian that this penniless preacher from Nazareth is irrevocably the very center of history. Jesus Christ is easily the most dominant figure in all history.
