Jesus Of Nazareth Quotes

“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.

Once, he had been startled into wakefulness by an unfamiliar sound but soon realised it was the eerie calling of passing whales communicating with each other as they sang of their joy for life. And as their song resonated deep within his soul, Jesus felt the greatness and generosity of their spirit. Their relevance and connection to the mysteries of the universe.”
