If there is a God, it's even more serious.'Bono, lead singer of U2 'I had a million questions to ask God: but when I met Him, they all fled my mind; and it didn't seem to matter.'Christopher Morley - American editor and author (18901957) 'The secular response to the Christ story always goes like this: he was a great prophet, obviously a very interesting guy, had a lot to say along the lines of other great prophets, be they Elijah, Muhammad, Buddha, or Confucius. But actually Christ doesn't allow you that. He doesn't let you off that hook. Christ says, No. I'm not saying I'm a teacher, don't call me teacher. I'm not saying I'm a prophet. I'm saying: 'I'm the Messiah.' I'm saying: 'I am God incarnate.'...So what you're left with is either Christ was who He said He was - the Messiah - or a complete nutcase...The idea that the entire course of civilisation for over half of the globe could have its fate changed and turned upside-down by a nutcase, for me that's farfetched.'Bono, lead singer of U2 'God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks to us in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: It is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world.'C.S. Lewis 'The Earth is a million years old, but the Bible is a billion years old.'Mark, Homeless in Detroit 'I love to hear my Lord spoken of, and wherever I have seen the print of His shoe in the earth, there have I coveted to put mine also.'John Bunyan - British author (1628-1688) 'I am an historian, I am not a believer, but I must confess as a historian that this penniless preacher from Nazareth is irrevocably the very center of history. Jesus Christ is easily the most dominant figure in all history.'H.G. Wells, British author (1866-1946) 'Jesus Christ is to me the outstanding personality of all time, all history, both as Son of God and as Son of Man. Everything he ever said or did has value for us today and that is something you can say of no other man, dead or alive. There is no easy middle ground to stroll upon. You either accept Jesus or reject him.'Sholem Asch, Jewish author (1880-1957) 'It is as wholly wrong to blame Marx for what was done in his name, as it is to blame Jesus for what was done in his.'Tony Benn, British politician (born 1925) 'If Jesus came back and saw what was being done in his name, he wouldn't be able to stop throwing up.'Woody Allen, American comedian (born 1935) 'Not only do we not know God except through Jesus Christ; We do not even know ourselves except through Jesus Christ.'Blaise Pascal, French mathematician and philosopher (1623-62) 'I commend my soul into the hands of God, my creator, hoping and assuredly believing through the merits of Jesus Christ my Savior to be made partaker of life everlasting.'William Shakespeare 'The only absolute knowledge attainable by man is that life ismeaningless.'Leo Tolstoy 'For thirty five years of my life I was, in the proper acceptation of the word, nihilist, a man who believed in nothing. Five years ago my faith came to me. I believed in the doctrine of Jesus Christ and my whole life underwent a sudden transformation. Life and death ceased to be evil. Instead of despair, I tasted joy and happiness that death could not take away.'Leo Tolstoy 'You can have everything in the world and still be the loneliest man and that is the most bitter type of loneliness; success has brought me world idolization and millions of pounds but it has prevented me from having the one thing we all need, a loving on-going relationship. I am bitter, lonely and have no-one to trust.'Freddie Mercury before he died 'Electric word, "Life", it means forever and that's a mighty long time.'Prince from 'Let's Go Crazy' 'There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus.'Blaise Pascal 'Jesus tapped me on the shoulder and said, Bob, why are you resisting me? I said, I'm not resisting you! He said, You gonna follow me? I said, I've never thought about that before! He said, When you're not following me, you're resisting me.'Bob Dylan 'The moral and religious system which Jesus Christ transmitted to us is the best the world has ever seen, or can see.'Benjamin Franklin 'Jesus does not give recipes that show the way to God as other teachers of religion do. He is himself the way.'Karl Barth 'It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible.'George Washington 'In regards to this great Book (the Bible), I have but to say it is the best gift God has given to man. All the good the Savior gave to the world was communicated through this Book. But for it we could not know right from wrong. All things most desirable for man's welfare, here and hereafter, are found portrayed in it.'Abraham Lincoln 'God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.'C.S. Lewis 'There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, "All right then, have it your way."C.S.

Between him and every other person in the world there is no possible term of comparison. Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I founded empires. But on what did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ founded His empire upon love; and at this hour millions of people would die for Him.'Napoleon Bonaparte 'The secular response to the Christ story always goes like this: he was a great prophet, obviously a very interesting guy, had a lot to say along the lines of other great prophets, be they Elijah, Muhammad, Buddha, or Confucius.

His religion is a revelation from an intelligence that is certainly not that of a man. I search in vain to find the person similar to Jesus Christ, or anything which can approach the gospels. Neither history, nor humanity nor the ages nor nature offer me anything which I can compare or explain it. Here everything is extraordinary.'Napoleon Bonaparte (commenting on the person of Jesus as he appears in the gospels) 'Jesus is just a word I use to swear with.'Richard Harris 'No one else holds or has held the place in the heart of the world which Jesus holds. Other gods have been as devoutly worshipped; no other man has been so devoutly loved.'John Knox - the great churchReformer of Scotland (1505-1572) 'A man who was completely innocent, offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and became the ransom of the world.

First God Almighty comes with a thump on the head. Then Jesus Christ comes with a balm to heal it.'William Blake - British Poet, Painter (1757-1827) 'No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus.'Albert Einstein 'I am an historian, I am not a believer, but I must confess as a historian that this penniless preacher from Nazareth is irrevocably the very center of history. Jesus Christ is easily the most dominant figure in all history.'H.G. Wells, British author (1866-1946) 'There is one very serious defect to my mind in Christ's moral character, and that is that he believed in hell... It is a doctrine that put cruelty into the world and gave the world generations of cruel torture; and the Christ of the Gospels, if you could take him as his chroniclers represent him, would certainly have to be considered partly responsible for that.'Bertrand Russell, British philosopher (1872-1970) 'Jesus Christ is to me the outstanding personality of all time, all history, both as Son of God and as Son of Man. Everything he ever said or did has value for us today and that is something you can say of no other man, dead or alive. There is no easy middle ground to stroll upon. You either accept Jesus or reject him.'Sholem Asch, Jewish author (1880-1957) 'In his own lifetime Jesus made no impact on history. This is something that I cannot but regard as a special dispensation on God's part, and, I like to think, yet another example of the ironical humour which informs so many of his purposes. To me, it seems highly appropriate that the most important figure in all history should thus escape the notice of memoirists, diarists, commentators, all the tribe of chroniclers who even then existed.'Malcolm Muggeridge, British journalist (1903-90) 'After the fall of so many gods in this century, this person, broken at the hands of his opponents and constantly betrayed through the ages by his adherents, is obviously still for innumerable people the most moving figure in the long history of mankind.'Hans Küng, German theologian (born 1928) 'Socrates dies with honor, surrounded by his disciples listening to the most tender words -the easiest death that one could wish to die. Jesus dies in pain, dishonor, mockery, the object of universal cursing the most horrible death that one could fear. At the receipt of the cup of poison, Socrates blesses him who could not give it to him without tears; Jesus, while suffering the sharpest pains, prays for His most bitter enemies. If Socrates lived and died like a philosopher, Jesus lived and died like a god.'Jean-Jacques Rousseau, French philosopher (1712-78) 'Not only do we not know God except through Jesus Christ; We do not even know ourselves except through Jesus Christ.'Blaise Pascal, French mathematician and philosopher (1623-62) 'This Jesus of Nazareth without money and arms, conquered more millions than Alexander, Caesar, Mohammed and Napoleon; without science and learning he shed more light on matters human and Divine than all philosophers and scholars combined; without the eloquence of schools, he spoke much words of life as were never spoken before or since, the produced effects which lie beyond the reach of orator or poet; without writing a single line, he set more pens in motion, furnished themes for more sermons, orations, discussions...than the whole army of great men of ancient and modern times.'Philip Schaff - Swiss-born U.S. biblical scholar, 1858 'The divine man'Goethe - German writer and scientist, 1749-1832 'The holy one'Goethe - German writer and scientist, 1749-1832 'The human mind, no matter how far it may advance in every other department, will never transcend the height and moral culture of Christianity as it shines and glows in the gospels.'Goethe - German writer and scientist, 1749-1832 'I believe there is no one lovelier, deeper, more sympathetic and more perfect thanJesus. I say to myself, with jealous love, that not only is there no one else like him but there could never be anyone like him.'Fyodor Dostoevsky - Russian novelist (1821-81) 'You should point to the whole man Jesus and say, ''That is God.'''Martin Luther 'There is a great difference between knowing about Jesus and knowing Him...There is no difference between nominal Christians and non-Christians. When we know Him everything is different and we are living in a new world -- a new atmosphere. Heaven begins on earth for us. Those who know Him know that Jesus is everything to them. They can bear witness because they have been living with Him...If we only know of Jesus as a good man, a great example, it is no help to us. Those who know Him know Who He is. If we live in Him He will reveal Himself to us and we shall bear witness -- not for a day or a night only...' Sadhu Sundar Singh 'People misunderstand Him when they don't know Him, but when they know Him they love Him. When I knew about Him I used to hate Him. Now I have heaven on earth. Heaven is in my heart...' Sadhu Sundar Singh 'I was going to commit suicide. Hinduism offered no spiritual help. Prayer is the most essential thing. Without prayer we cannot understand Jesus. We are living in Hell. Many know about Him but they do not live in Him." Sadhu Sundar Singh 'A Buddhist said to me, 'Extinction of desire is salvation'...'No,' said I, 'extinction of evil desire -- I agree with you there. But it is impossible not to have desire. The desire to kill desire is desire and the desire to kill that desire is also desire. Desire has been given to us that it may be satisfied. There is water given to quench my thirst and I am satisfied through prayer'...I have begun to live in heaven now in Jesus Christ. Through prayer I know Him and it is the duty of those who know Him to bear witness.' Sadhu Sundar Singh 'Trying to understand spiritual truth through the intellect means increase of self. Men search for God and find Him unknowable... But: He is known through the heart, not through philosophy. The only way for us to understand the infinite God is by becoming infinite and that is impossible. He must become finite and He is so in Jesus.'Sadhu Sundar Singh Moslem
