'When the Son of Man cometh, shall He find faith on the earth' If He should now come, would He find it in us What fruits of faith have we to show Do we look upon this life only as a short passage to a better Do we believe that we must suffer with Jesus Christ before we can reign with Him Do we consider this world as a deceitful appearance, and death as the entrance to true happiness Do we live by faith Does it animate us Do we relish the eternal truths it presents us with Are we as careful to nourish our souls with those truths as to maintain our bodies with proper diet Do we accustom ourselves to see all things in the light of faith Do we correct all our judgments by it Alas The greater part of Christians think and act like mere heathens if we judge (as we justly may) of their faith by their practice, we must conclude they have no faith at all.

Christ was treated as we deserve, that we might be treated as He deserves. He was condemned for our sins, in which He had no share, that we might be justified by His righteousness, in which we had no share. He suffered the death which was ours, that we might receive the life which was His.
Alas though I know in theory what a Christian should be--I am still sadly deficient in practice I am a poor creature, and see much to be ashamed of every day, and in every circumstance. Yet, though sin will distress--it cannot condemn, those who believe in Jesus
Our Christian conviction is that Christ is also the messiah of Israel. Certainly it is in the hands of God how and when the unification of Jews and Christians into the people of God will take place.
Contemplating this blighted and sinister career, the lesson is burnt in upon the conscience, that since Judas by transgression fell, no place in the Church of Christ can render any man secure. And since, falling, he was openly exposed, none may flatter himself that the cause of Christ is bound up with his reputation, that the mischief must needs be averted which his downfall would entail, that Providence must needs avert from him the natural penalties for evildoing. Though one was as the signet upon the Lord's hand, yet was he plucked thence. There is no security for any soul except where love and trust repose, upon the bosom of Christ.

(Matt. 523-24) Note the Savior did not say if you have ought against him, but if you find that another has ought against you.
My version, of course, is not this flag-waving, let's all get on the Jesus train and ride out of hell. I'm not that kind of guy. It's an embrace that life is good, worth living and yeah, it's not easy, but there are more pluses than minuses.
Christ, he was paranoid about criticism. I used to say: why doesn't he worry about the team and forget what people are saying? He got Phil Thompson, who was a kid coming through when I was a Liverpool player, to have a go at me. So now I don't talk to him.
Love to Christ is proved by doing the things which He commands, and not merely saying, Lord, Lord.

Hinckley.
Which prophecy of Christ we see wonderfully to be verified, insomuch that the whole course of the Church to this day may seem nothing else but a verifying of the said prophecy.
One of the most appalling comments on our present way of life is that half of all the beds in our hospitals are reserved for patients with nervous and mental troubles, patients who have collapsed under the crushing burden of accumulated yesterdays and fearful tomorrows. Yet a vast majority of those people would be walking the streets today, leading happy, useful lives, if they had only heeded the words of Jesus Have no anxiety about the morrow or the words of Sir William Osler Live in day-tight compartments.
The Christian clearly understands that Jesus does not reveal all that is signified by the word 'God,' but only as much as could be revealed through a perfect human personality living in absolute obedience to God's will.

Christ died to save this lost world; he did not come to destroy, maim or pour out wrath.
But this does not exempt the sane from a feeling of alarm when a madman who has composed a sublime poem, after explaining to them in the most logical fashion that he has been shut up by mistake through his wife's machinations, imploring them to intercede for him with the governor of the asylum, complaining of the promiscuous company that is forced upon him, concludes as follows 'You see that man in the courtyard, who I'm obliged to put up with he thinks he's Jesus Christ. That should give you an idea of the sort of lunatics I've been shut up with he can't be Jesus Christ, because I'm Jesus Christ' A moment earlier, you were on the point of going to assure the psychiatrist that a mistake had been made. On hearing these words, even if you bear in mind the admirable poem at which this same man is working every day, you shrink from him....

It can be opened only from the inside.'

Look, this is not a movie for kids. It is a movie that does put that violence in context and it shows the idea of sacrifice, and it emphasizes -- in a way that I think a lot of people don't expect -- that this sacrifice, this death, this suffering was chosen by Jesus, at least according to the Gospels account.
I've tried writing. Two days later I'd go visit it and say, Jesus Christ, who wrote this crap?
