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

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.

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

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

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
Matthew 6:34

“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…’

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
