“"Christ" is bigger than the Earth planet. If tomorrow we discover life on another planet, the whole "Jesus" piece would not make sense anymore. If he did everything for just us on this planet he wouldn't be the savior of the "world."” IfsWorldWholeEarthJesusChristPiecesPlanetsTomorrowBiggerMake SenseSavior Author:Richard Rohr
“Every time you prefer the pleasures of this world to the joys of heaven, you spit in the face of Christ; every time when to gain in your business, you do an unrighteous thing, you are like Judas selling Him for thirty pieces of silver; every time you make a false profession of religion, you give Him a traitor's kiss; every word you have spoken against Him, every hard thought you have had of Him, has helped to complete your complicity with the great crowd which gathered around the Cross of Calvary, to mock and jeer the Lord of life and glory.” WorldGivingHardFacesJoyHeavenChristPleasureLordPiecesThis WorldKissingGloryGainsCrossesCrowdsProfessionSellingThirtySilverSpitTraitorMockComplicityJudasCalvary Author:Charles Spurgeon
“You will not get to steal quietly into heaven, into Christ's company, without a conflict and a cross. I find crosses to be Christ's carved work that he marks out for us and that with crosses he portraits us to his own image, cutting away pieces of our ill and corruption. Lord cut - Lord carve - Lord wound - Lord do anything that may perfect thy Father's image in us and make us ready for glory.” MaySufferingFatherHeavenChristPerfectCompanyLordPiecesCuttingReadyConflictGloryCrossesMarkIllCorruptionWoundsStealingPortraitsAffliction Author:Samuel Rutherford
“He who receives Communion is made holy and Divinized in soul and body in the same way that water, set over a fire, becomes boiling... Communion works like yeast that has been mixed into dough so that it leavens the whole mass; ...Just as by melting two candles together you get one piece of wax, so, I think, one who receives the Flesh and Blood of Jesus is fused together with Him by this Communion, and the soul finds that he is in Christ and Christ is in him” ThinkingWayHas BeensMadeTwoSoulWholeBodyTogetherJesusChristWaterFirePiecesBloodHolyMassFleshCandleCommunionSacramentsMeltingOne PieceFlesh And BloodBoilingDoughSoul And BodyYeastBlood Of Jesus Author:Cyril of Alexandria
