Each of Jesus’s sayings contains words of insight, comfort, encouragement, and truth.

Although it would be a very long read if we listed all of them here, here are 10 most powerful sayings attributed to Jesus that you can meditate on to strengthen your faith and help you know Him more.

The Living Word

The life of Jesus is a great model worthy of admiration and emulation both by Christians and non-Christians alike.

During His life on earth, Jesus demonstrated what it means to be a person of uncommon love and practical wisdom, in both words and actions.

Not only that, Jesus demonstrated that He was indeed the living manifestation of the Word of God.

Every word He spoke carried God’s timeless wisdom in it. His words still prove relevant in our day and time, useful in every sphere of influence, and able to produce the same power as in the days of old.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. 

Matthew 24:35

10 Most Powerful Sayings Attributed to Jesus

Here are some of the most powerful sayings attributed to Jesus Christ. Allow them to bless your spirit:

“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’” 

John 14:6 

With this statement, Jesus makes the bold claim that there is no other way to salvation except through Him. Jesus is the only way provided by God for redemption and salvation. 

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

Matthew 6:34 

We worry and panic about life’s necessities and forget the providence of God. However, Jesus reminds us that worrying about tomorrow cannot solve its challenges. Would it not be wiser to trust in God? 

“But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.”

Matthew 5:44 

It’s easy to love our own family and friends. However, here Jesus reveals that to love and pray for your enemy is choosing the higher life, God’s life, being kind and loving even to the worst of people.

“Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die…’

John 11:25

The unbelieving world doubts the hope that every Christian has—a life after death. Jesus’s words offer comfort that one day we will be resurrected by His living power and live forever. 

“Do to others as you would have them do to you.”

Luke 6:31

The “Golden Rule” is one of the most popular sayings of Jesus, even in secular use. To build an effective relationship with others, we can’t treat them any differently than we’d hope to be treated.  

“He said to them, ‘Then give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.’”

Luke 20:25 

Jesus makes a clear distinction between our responsibilities to secular authorities and spiritual ones.

Everything done in the right order creates balance. Believers still adhere to rules and regulations stipulated by the government, our bosses, etc., except where they compromise our faith. 

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”

Matthew 7:7

Jesus’s father wants His children to bring their needs to Him. God is not a tyrant, and we should not be afraid to approach Him. He is a loving father who will not withhold anything good from His children.  

“Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.’”

Matthew 19:14 

Children are special to God. Jesus taught that only those who come to God like little children uncover the riches of His kingdom. We must seek God with childlike, pure, and honest hearts.  

“In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”

Matthew 5:16

It is important to let our light shine. It’s the only way to save the world. Jesus calls us to illuminate the darkness of this world through a godly lifestyle, love, and kindness.  

“Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.’”

Matthew 19:26

This powerful saying reminds us of God’s ability to do extraordinary and impossible things in the lives of those who dare to believe in Him. No matter how terrifying a situation may seem, with God, a miracle is possible.
