The Life of Our Lord Quotes

“Dok je naš Spasitelj sjedio poučavajući ljude i odgovarajući na njihova pitanja, jedan je zakonoznanac ustao i rekao, 'Učitelju što bih trebao učiniti kako bih mogao ponovno sretno živjeti nakon što umrem?' Isus mu je odgovorio, 'Prva je od svih zapovijedi Jedan je naš Gospodin Bog: ljubi Gospodina Boga svoga svim svojim srcem, i svom svojom dušom, i svim svojim umom, i svom svojom snagom. A i druga je poput nje. Ljubi bližnjega svoga kao samoga sebe. Nema veće zapovijedi od ove dvije.”

“Nakon kratkog vremena, Petar i još jedan učenik su se ohrabrili pa su u tajnosti pratili stražare do kuće velikog svećenika Kajfe, kamo je Isus odveden i gdje su pismoznanci i ostali bili okupljeni kako bi ga ispitali. Petar je stajao na vratima, ali drugi je učenik, koga je veliki svećenik poznavao, ušao unutra, i smjesta se vraćajući, zamolio ženu koja je čuvala vrata neka pro-pusti i Petra. Ona je, gledajući Petra, rekla, 'Nisi li ti jedan od učenika?' On joj je rekao, 'Nisam.' Tako ga je pustila unutra; pa je stajao ispred vatre koja je tamo gorjela, grijući se među slugama i vojnicima koji su ju okružili. Jer bilo je jako hladno. Neki su mu od tih ljudi postavili isto pitanje kao i žena, pa su rekli, 'Zar ti nisi jedan od učenika?' On je to ponovno zani-jekao i rekao, 'Nisam.' Jedan je od njih, koji je bio u rodu s onim čovjekom kojemu je Petar odsjekao uho svojim mačem, rekao, 'Zar te nisam vidio u vrtu s Njim?' Petar je ponovno zanijekao prisežući te je rekao, 'Ne poznajem toga čovjeka.' Istoga je trena pijetao zakukurikao, a Isus je, okrenuvši se, prodorno pogledao u Petra. Tada se Petar sjetio što mu je Isus rekao — kako će ga, prije nego pijetao zakukuriče, tri puta zatajiti — te je izišao i gorko zaplakao.”

“Kada je Pilat uvidio da ih ne može nagovoriti, koliko god uporno pokušavao, zatražio je neka mu se donese voda te je perući ruke pred mnoštvom rekao, 'Nevin sam od krvi ovog pravednika.' Tada im ga je predao kako bi bio raspet, a oni ga odvedoše, vičući i okupljajući se oko Njega, i ponašajući se prema Njemu (koji se i dalje za njih molio Bogu) okrutno i uvredljivo.”

“Our Saviour loved the child, and loved all children. Yes, and all the world. No one ever loved all people so well and so truly as He did.”
― Charles Dickens, The Life of Our Lord

“As God forgives this woman so much sin, she will love Him, I hope, the more.” And he said to her, “God forgives you!” The company who were present wondered that Jesus Christ had power to forgive sins, but God had given it to Him. And the woman thanking Him for all his mercy, went away. We learn from this, this we must always forgive those who have done us any harm, when they come to us and say they are truly sorry for it. Even if they do not come and say so, we must still forgive them, and never hate them or be unkind to them, if we would hope that God will forgive us.”
― Charles Dickens, The Life of Our Lord

“Never be proud or unkind, my dears, to any poor man, woman, or child. If they are bad, think that they would have been better, if they had had kind friends, and good homes, and had been better taught. So, always try to make them better by kind persuading words; and always try to teach them and relieve them if you can. And when people speak ill of the Poor and Miserable, think how Jesus Christ went among them and taught them, and thought them worthy of his care. And always pity them yourselves, and think as well of them as you can.”
― Charles Dickens, The Life of Our Lord

“he began to cure sick people by only laying his hand upon them; for God had given him power to heal the sick, and to give sight to the blind, and to do many wonderful and solemn things of which I shall tell you more bye and bye, and which are called “The Miracles’” of Christ. I wish you would remember that word, because I shall use it again, and I should like you to know that it means something which is very wonderful and which could not be done without God’s leave and assistance.”
