Jesus Quotes

“A Jesus' who walked through the world, knowing exactly what the morrow would bring, knowing the certainty that after three days the Father would raise him up, is a Jesus who can rouse our admiration, but still a Jesus far away from us. He is a Jesus far away from a mankind that can only hope in the future and believe in God's goodness, far from a mankind that must face the supreme uncertainty of death with faith but without knowledge of what is beyond. On the other hand, a Jesus for whom the future was as much a mystery, a dread and a hope as it is for us, and yet at the same time a Jesus who would say, 'Not my will, but yours!' - this is a Jesus who could effectively teach us to live, for this is a Jesus who would have gone through life's real trials.”
