Greetings, Folks!

What follows are a few quotes from various places from books and the web.
Enjoy!

"You never hear Jesus say in Pilate's judgment hall one word that would let you imagine that He was sorry that He had undertaken so costly a sacrifice for us. When His hands are pierced, when He is parched with fever, His tongue dried up like a shard of pottery, when His whole body is dissolved into the dust of death, you never hear a groan or a shriek that looks like Jesus is going back on His commitment." –Charles Spurgeon
--
"The Son of God became a man to enable men to become sons of God." ---C.S. Lewis
--
"In Christ and by Christ, God effects complete self-disclosure, although He shows Himself not to reason but to faith and love. Faith is an organ of knowledge, and love an organ of experience. God came to us in the incarnation; in atonement He reconciled us to Himself, and by faith and love we enter and lay hold of Him." ---A.W. Tozer
--
"Jesus was God and man in one person, that God and man might be happy together again." –George Whitefield
--
"Lord of all being, throned afar, Thy glory flames from sun and star; Center and soul of every sphere, yet to each loving heart how near! Lord of all life, below, above, whose light is truth, whose warmth is love, before Thy ever-blazing throne we as no luster of our own." ---Oliver Wendell Holmes
--
"It is good to be children sometimes, and never better than at Christmas, when its mighty Founder was a child Himself." --Charles Dickens
--

"God created everything by number, weight and measure."---Sir Isaac Newton
--
"Where was there ever a master that desired to be informed of the will of the slave, in order to execute it?" --Alphonzo Rodriguez
--
"Not only do we not know God except through Jesus Christ; We do not even know ourselves except through Jesus Christ." ---Pascal
--
"I feel as if Jesus Christ died only yesterday." ---Martin Luther
--
"The Gospel that represents Jesus Christ, not as a system of truth to be received, into the mind, as I should receive a system of philosophy, or astronomy, but it represents Him as a real, living, mighty Savior, able to save me now." --Catherine Booth
--
"I would rather a thousand times be five minutes at the feet of Christ than listen a lifetime to all the wise men in the world." --D.L. Moody
