Jesus’ good news, then, was that the Kingdom of God had come, and that he, Jesus, was its herald and expounder to men. More than that, in some special, mysterious way, he was the Kingdom. (Malcolm Muggeridge, Jesus: the Man Who Lives)

Jesus was the only one that ever raised the dead and he shouldn’t have done it. He’s thrown everything off balance. If he did what he said, then it’s nothing for you to do but throw away everything and follow him, and if he didn’t, then it’s nothing for you to do but enjoy the [...]

But if the gospel of Jesus is relational; that is, if our brokenness will be fixed, not by our understanding of theology, but by God telling us who we are, then this would require a kind of intimacy which only heaven knows… Perhaps this is what the apostles stumbled upon. (Donald Miller, Searching for God [...]

There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus (Blaise Pascal, French Mathematician, Philosopher and Physicist [1623-1662])

It is not His teachings which make Jesus so remarkable, although these would be enough to give Him distinction. It is a combination of the teachings with the man Himself. The two cannot be separated. (Kenneth Scott Latourette, historian of Christianity at Yale University)

In the simple act of taking bread, and of blessing, breaking and giving it to His disciples, the Lord gathered up all the mystery of the gospel: that the Word must become flesh, and that this flesh must be broken for the life of the world…
At that supper table with His friends, Jesus revealed Himself [...]

I am an historian, I am not a believer, but I must confess as a historian that this penniless preacher from Nazareth is irrevocably the very center of history. Jesus Christ is easily the most dominant figure in all history. (H.G. Wells, British author [1866-1946])
