“When I look at Jesus' warm and intimate friendships, my heart fills with praise that Jesus was. . . a man. A man of flesh-and-blood reality. His heart felt the sting of sympathy. His eyes glowed with tenderness. His arms embraced. His lips smiled. His hands touched. Jesus was male! Jesus invites us to relate to him as the Son of Man. And because he is fully man, we can relate to Jesus with affection and love.” MenLooksHeartHandsRealityEyeJesusFeltChristianityBloodSonArmsMy HeartAnd LovePraiseMalesLipsAffectionWarmFleshRelateIntimateHis EyesTouchedInvitesTendernessFlesh And BloodChristian LoveHeart Felt Author:Joni Eareckson Tada
“Jesus, in fact, was typical of a certain kind of fanatical young idealist: at one moment holding forth, with tears in his eyes, about the need for universal love; at the next, furiously denouncing the morons, crooks and bigots who did not see eye to eye with him. It is very natural and very human behaviour. But it is not superhuman.” NeedsHumansKindMomentsFactsEyeYoungCertainNextJesusNaturalAtheismTearsUniversalPositive AtheismHis EyesBehaviourTypicalMoronIdealistBigotsSuperhumanCrooksUniversal LoveHuman Behaviour Author:Margaret E.

“If God made no response except to perfect faith, who could hope for help? But God has regard for beginnings, and His eye perceives greatness in the germ. The hand of the woman in the crowd trembled as it was stretched toward Jesus, and the faith back of it was superstitiously reverent, trusting in the virtue of the robe, rather than in the One who wore it; yet the genuineness of that faith; feeble though it was, triumphed in God's loving sight. Real trust is real power, though the heart and hand be feeble.” IfsHeartMadeRealHelpingHandsEyeJesusPerfectVirtueGreatnessSightRegardResponseCrowdsPerceiveHis EyesGermsRobesReal PowerGenuinenessHearts And HandsNo Response Book:Thoughts for Every-day Living from the Spoken and Written Words of Maltbie Davenport Babcock Source: Thoughts for Every-day Living from the Spoken and Written Words of Maltbie Davenport Babcock
“I saw a guy wearing a "What Would Jesus Do?" bracelet and a Lance Armstrong bracelet, and he went up to this blind kid and rubbed his eyes, and the kid could see. But he wasn't used to the light, 'cause it was bright, and he walked into traffic and was killed instantly. Okay, the people that are laughing right now? I'm gonna call you guys half-full.

“Like Buddha under the Bo tree, Jesus, on his tree, has his eyes closed too. The difference is this. The pain and sadness of the world that Buddha's eyes close out is the pain and sadness of the world that the eyes of Jesus close in.” WorldEyePainJesusDifferencesTreeSadnessHis Eyes Book:The Life of Jesus Source: The Life of Jesus
