We are Jesus Christ's; we belong to him. But even more, we are increasingly him. He moves in and commandeers our hands and feet, requisitions our minds and tongues. We sense his rearranging: debris into the divine, pig's ear into silk purse. He repurposes bad decisions and squalid choices. Little by little, a new image emerges.

Where the White Hand Of Moses on the Bough
Puts out, and Jesus from the Ground suspires.
V.

Salvation cannot come without revelation; it is in vain for anyone to minister without it. No man is a minister of Jesus Christ without being a Prophet. No man can be a minister of Jesus Christ except he has the testimony of Jesus; and this is the spirit of prophecy.

Joseph Smith, Jr.

No one else holds or has held the place in the heart of the world which Jesus holds. Other gods have been as devoutly worshipped; no other man has been so devoutly loved.

A rule I have had for years is: to treat the Lord Jesus Christ as a personal friend. His is not a creed, a mere doctrine, but it is He Himself we have.

Dwight L. Moody

Character in a saint means the disposition of Jesus Christ persistently manifested.

Oswald Chambers

I think Jesus would have a drink with me and discuss ... why you acting like that? ... Now, he would be cool. He would talk to me. No Christian ever did that and said in the name of Jesus even.

The rest of his life must have taken a singular turn. God knows whether or not he became a Christian. — It would be a poetic motif to have him, gripped by Christ's divine power, step forward and witness for him.

Søren Kierkegaard

Jesus watches from the wall, But his face is cold as stone, And if he loves me As she tells me Why do I feel so all alone?
