Seven of my favorite quotes about Jesus

“It is only because He became like us that we can become like Him.”

He Healed Many of Diverse Diseases by J. Kirk Richards

You can never learn that Christ is all you need, until Christ is all you have.

Corrie Ten Boom

Light of Life by Annie Henrie

Increased spiritual strength is a gift from God which He can give when we push in His service to our limits. Through the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, our natures can be changed. Then our power to carry burdens can be increased more than enough to compensate for the increased service we will be asked to give.

Henry B. Eyring

Gethsemane by Carl Bloch

There is a direct relationship between how we feel about Jesus Christ and how we see ourselves. We cannot increase our devotion to the Savior without also obtaining a greater sense of purpose, identity, and conviction.

Sheri L. Dew

Look to Your Children by Minerva Teichert

If we are serious about our discipleship, Jesus will eventually request each of us to do those very things which are most difficult for us to do.

Neal A. Maxwell

Christ Walking on the Water by Julius Sergius Von Klever

When God's children pass under the shadow of the cross of Calvary, they know that through that shadow lies their passage to the great white throne. For them Gethsemane is as paradise. God fills it with sacred presences; its solemn silence is broken by the music of tender promises, its awful darkness softened and brightened by the sunlight of Heavenly faces and the music of angel wings.

Frederick W. Farrar

Christ and the Woman Taken in Adultery by Harry Anderson

To deny oneself is to be aware only of Christ and no more of self, to see only him who goes before and no more the road which is too hard for us. Once more, all that self-denial can say is: ‘He leads the way, keep close to him.’

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Christ Healing the Blind at Jericho by Nicolas Poussin

When you reach up for the Lord’s power in your life with the same intensity that a drowning person has when grasping and gasping for air, power from Jesus Christ will be yours. When the Savior knows you truly want to reach up to Him—when He can feel that the greatest desire of your heart is to draw His power into your life—you will be led by the Holy Ghost to know exactly what you should do.

When you spiritually stretch beyond anything you have ever done before, then His power will flow into you.

Russell M. Nelson

Of Such is the Kingdom of Heaven by Mike Malm

(Bonus Quote! And also one of my favorites)

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
