[www.keralites.net] 10 Great Quotes,,,,,,,

 

1. Love Your Enemies!

OK, you have to admit this is a pretty radical concept...

You have heard the law that says, Love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike. If you love only those who love you, what reward is there for that? Even corrupt tax collectors do that much. If you are kind only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else?(Matthew 5:43-47)

2. Don't Worry About The Future

Sometimes insightful sayings seem obvious once you hear them - I think that is the case here. Live in the moment you're in!

So dont worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Todays trouble is enough for today.(Matthew 6:34)

3. How To Treat Others

Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets.(Matthew 7:12)

4. The Most Important Commandment

Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?
Jesus replied,You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: Love your neighbor as yourself. The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.(Matthew 22:36-40)

5. Spiritual Greatness

In the topsy-turvy world of theKingdom of Godit seems the usual understanding of things is reversed. Here is yet another example:

You know that the rulers in this world lord it over their people, and officials flaunt their authority over those under them. But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you must be the slave of everyone else. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.(Mark 10:42-45)

6. Gaining The World, Losing Your Soul

Here Jesus highlights that the eternal and spiritual dimension is more important than the temporal physical one. Those who choose to follow His teaching will make physical sacrifices for spiritual rewards.

Then, calling the crowd to join his disciples, he said,If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News, you will save it. And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul? If anyone is ashamed of me and my message in these adulterous and sinful days, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person when he returns in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.(Mark 8:34-38)

7. The Kingdom Of God Is Not Physical

Christian faith should not be militant, things like the crusades were not in line with what Jesus taught, or even the concept of christendom. He also taught that theKingdom of Godwas in the hearts of men.

The statement below was said in response to questioning in his trial before the roman govenor.

My Kingdom is not an earthly kingdom. If it were, my followers would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish leaders. But my Kingdom is not of this world.(John 18:36)

8. God Loves Everyone

This very well known passage is actually a quote from Jesus.

For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.(John 3:16-17)

9. Ask, Seek, Knock

And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.(Luke 11:9-10)

10. His Claim To Be God

While it seems Jesus didn't make a point of telling everyone that he was God, he did make it clear on a few recorded occasions. This quote is taken from Jesus' court trial, from which the resulting conviction of 'blasphemy' led to his crucifixion.

I include this quote, not because it's a great teaching, but because it affects how one perceives his teaching. It's hard to think of Jesus as [just] a good moral teacher when you know that he thought himself to be God. Either he is a weirdo, or heisGod!

Then the high priest said to him, I demand in the name of the living Godtell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.
Jesus replied, You have said it. And in the future you will see the Son of Man seated in the place of power at Gods right hand and coming on the clouds of heaven.(Matthew 26:63-64)

[www.keralites.net] Husband / wife

 

A man and his ever-nagging wife went on vacation to Jerusalem. While they
were there, the wife passed away.

The undertaker told the husband, "You can have her shipped home for $5,000,
or you can bury her here, in the Holy Land, for $150."

The man thought about it and told him he would just have her shipped home. The
undertaker asked, "Why would you spend $5,000 to ship your wife home, when
it would be wonderful to be buried here and you would spend only $150?"

*The man replied, "Long ago a man called Jesus Christ died here, was
buried here, and three days later he rose from the dead. I just can't
take that chance.
