Jesus. The most unique figure in history.

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

    Blaise Pascal

  • I could see that it was God's forgiveness and His mercy that I needed, and that was provided through Christ on the Cross for those who will receive Him as Lord and Savior. That is how I came to Christ.

    Kirk Cameron

  • Christianity is not about religion. It's about faith, about being held, about being forgiven. It's about finding joy and finding home.

    Bear Grylls

  • I have loved Jesus my whole life, and it has been such a privilege for me. To be able to marry my work and God together has been such a blessing.

    Roma Downey

  • I serve a higher power, Jesus Christ. I make no apologies in saying that.

    Rick Warren

  • Jesus was nothing like I thought - He wasn't condemning. He was loving and leading.

    Kathy Ireland

  • You and I are players, God's our coach, and we're playing the biggest game of all. We have a loving God that made us. We need to get on His team. It says in His word, there's only one way to Him and that's through Jesus Christ.

    Joe Gibbs

  • I just think I'm blessed. I love the Lord Jesus Christ. I have a great grandmother that passed away at 104 and two grandparents that passed away at 97 and 95, and they never worried about protein. They just enjoyed life, and that's what I'm doing.

    Herschel Walker

  • Jesus isn't a logo, I'm not promoting some company, some brand. I'm just professing my faith.

    Stephen Baldwin

  • I can say that I never knew what joy was like until I gave up pursuing happiness, or cared to live until I chose to die. For these two discoveries I am beholden to Jesus.

    Malcolm Muggeridge

  • When I found Jesus Christ, I learned to be a better athlete. I didn't have to go out there and knock them out in the first round. I've learned to be patient, skillful in the ring. At the same time, I wanted to prove to other boxers that you can take off this killer instinct stuff, you can be a great athlete, a great boxer, and love your brother.

    George Foreman

  • If you're married, and you have a wife, and you really love your wife, is it good enough to only say to your wife 'I love her' the day you get married? Or should you tell her every single day when you wake up and every opportunity? And that's how I feel about my relationship with Jesus Christ is that it is the most important thing in my life.

    Tim Tebow

  • When people say, you know, 'Good teacher,' 'Prophet,' 'Really nice guy'... this is not how Jesus thought of Himself. So you're left with a challenge in that, which is either Jesus was who he said he was or a complete and utter nut case. You have to make a choice on that.

    Bono

  • The love of God shows us that God alone bridges the distance between him and us, enabling us to see this world through Calvary.

    Ravi Zacharias

  • God proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, 'I love you.'

    Billy Graham

  • Now is our chance to choose the right side. God is holding back to give us that chance. It won't last forever. We must take it or leave it.

    C. S. Lewis

Jesus is also the single most controversial figure in history.

Not because of the things He did, but because of what He said about Himself. He made promises no mere man can keep. But don't take our word for it. Here are His own words, notice how truly intense His claims really are.

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well.” (John 14:6-7)
Jesus said... “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)
Jesus said... “The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” (John 11:25-26)
Jesus said... “Whoever believes... is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.” (John 3:18)

What does this mean for you?

How you choose to respond to these words will alter the course of your future. First, understand that you are separated from God by your sinful choices. Second, realize the way to God is not through a religious to-do list, but through a person - Jesus Christ. Third, notice that a relationship with God is a free gift that comes by faith in Jesus and what He did for you on the cross.

The choice is yours. It's up to you to personally answer Jesus' question, "Do you believe this?" If you believe, then personally pray to Jesus Christ and trust in Him as your Lord who died to forgive your sin and rose again from the dead, promising to give you eternal life.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23)
For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:21)
If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. (Romans 10:9-10)
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:1)
