What Jesus said
| If we would take the basics of the Christian faith seriously, then we must begin with what Jesus actually said. | What Jesus Said and the WordIntroductionOne of the sad realities of the Christian faith today is that few Christians have taken the time to know their Bibles and really listen to what the Word of God says. Not only this, but few have taken the time to really listen to what Jesus actually said. The result is that many who profess Christ are led away by what is actually a corruption of the gospel.This result is a soul-destroying lack of knowledge, a spiritual fog and confusion of mind that pervades that which calls itself Christian. There is even much that passes for Christian today which stands in opposition to Jesus’ own words. Doctrines are called “evangelical,” a term which refers to the gospel, which are neither genuinely evangelical or the gospel. The Word of God warns against false gospels and false christs. Jesus, Himself, does so (Matt. 24:4, 5,23, 24). The Scriptures are the only standard by which the spirits may be tried, and they are to be searched.To this problem is added the fact that we are confronted by a multiplying of corrupt paraphrases, (putting things in man’s word, sometimes called dynamic equivalence) which falsely pass as Bible versions and translations. Jesus said, “That till heaven and earth pass, one jot or tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled,” Matt. 5:18. While Jesus is speaking of the law, in the context the law embraces in this text the entire Old Testament. His point is, to use an English parallel, that not one dotted letter “i” and one crossed letter “t” shall pass until all be fulfilled. He clearly teaches by this the absolute principle of verbal, word for word inspiration of Holy Scripture. Paraphrases, which are man’s word, are not Scripture, they are not translations. They are based on a corrupt doctrine of Scripture and its inspiration. They are contrary to the doctrine of Jesus Christ.In harmony with this truth, all quotations are taken from the what is called the King James version (KJV) or the Authorized Version (AV). This is not a matter of traditionalism, custom or love of old form. This version is still the most reliable, verbally accurate version of the Bible in the English language, whatever superficial difficulties it might present to a present day reader. | What Jesus said about.The words of Jesus touch on every aspect of the gospel, the way of salvation, the church and the life of a Christian. It would be impossible to exhaust this subject.Yet there is much that Jesus said and taught that is ignored or set aside today. For one who professes Christ this is a serious matter of sin.The material which follows is intended to address this matter and to call those who have wandered out of the way of the truth to turn again to the Lord.Each article may be read by itself or in sequence one after another, though with some deliberate repetition. The articles may be grouped somewhat according to subject as they are below. An index is also given. The articles are intended to make one think and search the Scriptures.The articles are somewhat grouped by subject: |

Paul traveled to Derbe and Lystra as well as other places. In attendance was a disciple by the name of Timothy, who was the son of a Jewish lady who was a believer, but his father was a non-believer. The brothers at Lystra and Iconium had nothing but good things to say about him. Paul desired Timothy to follow him, and he took him and circumcised him since the Jews who were in those locations were aware that Timothy’s father was a Greek, and he did it out of respect for them. As they passed through the cities on their journey to Jerusalem, they handed over to the local authorities the decisions taken by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem and asked them to observe them.
As a result, the churches were reinforced in their faith, and their membership expanded on a daily basis.

When it comes to the one who is weak in faith, it is appropriate to greet him but not to engage in a debate about his beliefs.

After all, who are you to pronounce judgment on a servant of someone else? It is in the presence of his own master that he will either succeed or fail.

In order for us to share in Christ’s resurrection from the dead, we were buried with him in baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too may walk in newness of life.

And God divided the light from the darkness in the beginning. God called the light Day, and the darkness Night, and he created them both.

What Did Jesus Say About His Own Words?
Jesus said that his words came directly from the mouth of the Almighty. He repeated himself over and over. “It is not I who am teaching, but he who has sent me.” “.the one who sent me is true, and I tell to the world what I have heard from him,” (John 7:16) says Jesus. (See also John 8:26) I do not utter the words that I say to you on my own initiative; rather, the Father who dwells in me works through me.” (See also John 14:10) “.the message you are hearing is not mine, but it comes from the Father who sent me,” Jesus said.
As a result, when I talk, I speak exactly as the Father has instructed me.” (See also John 12:49-50.) And they received the words that you gave me, since I communicated them to them (Jesus’ followers).” They were confident that I was sent by you, and they thought that you were the one who sent me.” (See also John 17:8) Jesus declared that his teachings are full of energy and life.
(See also John 6:63) … and that his remarks will be remembered for a long time.
What did Jesus have to say about following God’s commands? What did Jesus have to say about what it means to be a Christian? “Follow Me,” says the narrator. Following Jesus, according to him, is simple and straightforward. “You only have one instructor, and that is the Christ.”

In this day and age, there are some who might try to put words in Jesus’ mouth, take passages of scripture out of context or otherwise say something contrary to what God shared in his Holy Word. The four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John tell the gospel story of Christ. Matthew, Mark and Luke are known as thesynoptic gospels— sharing many of the same accounts of Christ, often in the same order and with the same wording. However, John offers a slightly different perspective on the gospel of Christ.
It’s also in John’s account that we get eight “I am” metaphors used by Jesus to tell us exactly who he is, and why his life is so important for the eternal destiny of our own.
John’s Unique Account
The gospel of Matthew opens with a genealogy that leads to Jesus. When Mark begins, John the Baptist is paving the way for Jesus to arrive. The book of Luke starts with a prophecy about the birth of John the Baptist. John, on the other hand, begins beyond the world with an eye on the eternal. “In the beginning, the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” “In the beginning, the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (NIV) (John 1:1) (NIV) (NIV) (NIV) (NIV) (NIV) (NIV) (NIV) (NIV) (NIV) (NIV) (NIV) (NIV) (NIV) (NIV) (NIV) (NIV) (NIV) (NIV) (NIV) (NIV) (NIV) (NIV) (NIV) (NIV) (NIV) (NIV) ( “The Word took on flesh and established his home among us,” says the Bible.
In his co-authored book, Seeing Jesus from the East, co-author Ravi Zacharias points out that the gospel of John refers to Jesus in the first person singular 118 times, which is more than the combined total of the first three gospel narratives.
I am the bread of life.
“I am the bread of life,” Jesus declares in John 6:35 (New International Version). No one will ever go hungry or thirsty if they come to me, and no one will ever be thirsty if they trust in me.” He says this shortly after performing his miracle of feeding the 5,000 people. In chapter 6, Jesus instructs his followers to “not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life” (John 6:27 NIV), and he later declares that “the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the earth” (John 6:35 NIV) (John 6:33 NIV).
Because of our faith in him, we are able to experience everlasting life, where we will never again experience hunger or thirst.
I am the light of the world.
“I am the light of the world,” Jesus declares in John 8:12 (New International Version). Following me will never be in the dark, but will always have the light of life in their hearts. When used to diverse circumstances, light may take on a variety of distinct meanings. We require light in order to see our way. Darkness is illuminated by light. Light has the ability to reveal hidden darkness inside us. Light also offers warmth for the development of plants. As the Word made flesh, Jesus, in his role as the author of light, takes on all of these meanings of light as the Word made flesh.
His Word sheds light on the reality of things.
I am the gate for the sheep.
“I am the gate for the sheep,” Jesus tells the Pharisees in John 10:7 (New International Version). As previously stated in the passages preceding this one, Jesus labels anybody who enters the sheep pen from a point other than the gate as a thief and a robber. As the gate, he defends the sheep and also serves as the only entrance and exit point to the corral. This concept is repeated in numerous “I am” statements that Jesus makes throughout the Bible.
I am the good shepherd.
“I am the good shepherd,” Jesus declares just a few sentences later in John 10:11 (New International Version). “The good shepherd gives his life for the sake of his sheep.” In stating this to the Pharisees, Jesus is fulfilling the prophesy of Ezekiel 34:12, which states that the Messiah will come (NIV). The shepherd cares after his dispersed flock while he is among them, and I will look after my sheep in the same manner. “I will bring them back from all the areas where they have been spread on this cloudy and dismal day,” I promise.
As our Savior, Jesus saves us from death and sets us free from the bonds of our sin.
I am the resurrection and the life.
“I am the resurrection and the life,” Jesus declares in John 11:25 (New International Version). It is possible for someone who believes in me to survive even if they die.” Jesus is informing us that he is the source of resurrection and life by stating this. According to theologian John Pipers, “All of God’s sovereignty is communicated through Christ, and it is predicated on his power over death demonstrated in his resurrection.” There is no resurrection if Christ is not present. There is no such thing as a death that can be defeated.
It is only because of his victory over death that we have the promise of eternal life if we place our faith in him.
I am the way and the truth and the life.
“I am the way, the truth, and the life,” Jesus declares in John 14:6 (New International Version). “There is no other way to the Father but through me.” Following Jesus’ announcement to his followers that he is going to make a place for them in his Father’s home, his disciples inquire as to how they would know the path to where he is going. And in answer to this, Jesus declares himself to be the path that leads to the Father. Philip, one of Jesus’ disciples, then requests to see the Father. As a response, Jesus says, “Anyone who has seen me has also seen the Father.
” (John 14:9b NIV). Jesus is informing his disciples and followers that he is the only route to God and that he himself is God. He is preparing a place for us in forever, and he will return to take us to where he now resides.
I am the true vine.
“I am the genuine vine, and my Father is the gardener,” Jesus declares in John 15:1 (New International Version). As Jesus prepared his followers for his ascension to heaven, he made an allusion to the idea that he would support them in the same way as a grapevine sustains the branches of its vine. In John 15:5, he went on to make this point even more emphatic (NIV). “I am the vine, and you are the branches,” says the speaker. It is only through my presence in your life, and your presence in mine, that you will grow great fruit; absent from me, you can do nothing.” Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is constantly with us, and he works through us to bring about fruit for his Kingdom.
However, if we are in Christ and are receiving nourishment from him, how can we fail to produce fruit that will bring glory to him?
Before Abraham was born, I am.
Finally, in John 8:58 (NIV), Jesus declares, “I am who I am before Abraham was born!” According to co-author Ravi Zacharias in his book Seeing Jesus from the East, this was the accusation that “inspired Jesus’ opponents to kill him.” “By asserting that he did not “come into existence,” Jesus was asserting that it is impossible for him to be anything other than himself. His arrival did not represent a reincarnation; rather, it represented the incarnation.” Jesus is stating, in the same way that John begins his narrative, that he was there from the beginning and has been there ever since.
How Do We Respond to Who Jesus Is?
In his co-authored book, Seeing Jesus from the East, Abdul Murray argues how the disciples in the book of Acts have been transformed as a result of their knowledge of who Jesus is. The disciples have taken refuge in closed chambers following Jesus’ death on the cross and burial in the tomb. However, upon Jesus’ resurrection, they are ecstatic “with the prospect of being regarded worthy of suffering disgrace for His name” (Acts 5:41 NASB). They can’t stop themselves from telling people about Christ and what he has done for them, no matter what the repercussions are.
- Your path does not come to an end with your faith in Christ.
- “Many of us question if we would have the strength to truly bear pain for the cause of Christ,” Murray continues.
- In the meanwhile, we may take comfort in the knowledge that things weren’t that remarkable.

What did Jesus say on the cross?
It is not necessary to be a “card-carrying Christian” in order to understand what the cross signifies. After Jesus Christ was crucified, what was previously an instrument of Roman punishment has been transformed into a symbol of Christian belief and belief system. That pivotal point in history, which is widely chronicled both in the Bible and in other historical books, altered the direction of human history for all eternity. The deeds of Jesus demonstrated how much God cared for the entire world.
What did Jesus say as he was hanging on the cross?
The narratives of Jesus’ crucifixion may be found in the following chapters of the Bible: Matthew 27, Luke 23, John 19, and Mark 15. The seven final words said by Jesus on the cross reveal a great deal about God and ourselves. Let’s have a look at this.
Sayings of Jesus on the cross1: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do” Luke 23:34
In Luke 23:34, Jesus delivers a remark that should bring us all to our knees. He had been betrayed. He was assaulted and spit on by his attackers. While He was suffering, the Roman Guards gambled for His possessions. When it appeared as though the world was against Him (and it was), His heart’s desire was to ask for just one thing. During His crucifixion, what did Jesus say concerning those who would persecute Him? Please accept my apologies. How many of us keep grudges against others for minor transgressions?
- However, the example of Jesus is one that we should all take into consideration.
- “Forgive them,” one of Jesus’ seven last words said on the cross, is extremely powerful.
- We are frequently more punishing to ourselves than we are to the individuals against whom we are harboring a grudge when we refuse to forgive them.
- Forgiveness does not necessarily imply allowing another person to have an impact on your life.
- It is a hindrance to your progress.
- Giving God your anguish and asking Him to intercede on your behalf on behalf of the person who has injured you are both examples of prayer. Accepting God’s plan for your life and not allowing negative thoughts toward another individual or group of people to get in the way
It’s much simpler to say than to accomplish. However, after you’ve completed your task, you’ll be liberated. Will you have the courage to let go and even beg God to intervene on your behalf against those who have wronged you? Consider what Jesus said when he was hanging on the cross. In His most difficult moments, He not only chose forgiveness, but he also begged that they be reconciled with God via an act of prayer, which was answered.
Sayings of Jesus on the cross2: “Today, you will be with me in Paradise” Luke 23:43
This is a story that many of us are familiar with. On that terrible day, Jesus wasn’t the only man sentenced to death by the Romans. His left and right sides were occupied by thieves who were also scheduled to be killed. We come upon two very distinct experiences. One of the thieves makes fun of Jesus and dares Him to prove if He is the Messiah or not. Several of the prisoners who were hanging there threw obscenities at Jesus, including: “Aren’t you the Messiah?” “Save yourself as well as us!” Luke 23:39 (NIV) The other criminal, on the other hand, makes a sincere plea on Jesus’ behalf.
- “Don’t you have any fear of God,” he said, referring to the fact that they were both serving the same sentence.
- “However, this individual has done nothing wrong.” Luke 40:40-41 (KJV) Three critical actions are taken by the criminal in the life of any disciple of Jesus.
- Following that, he confesses his own shortcomings and flawed nature.
- According to Luke 40:42, the condemned man declared Jesus to be Lord and confessed that He was in reality, the King of the Jews.
When he asked him whether he was going to heaven, he said, “I promise you, today you will be with me in paradise.” Luke 40:43 (NIV) Despite the fact that the criminal could do nothing to save himself, he was saved by calling on the name of Jesus.
Sayings of Jesus on the Cross3: “Woman, behold your son,” John 19:26 – 27
Jesus appears to be looking down at two persons that He had a special affection for throughout His time on earth in the Gospel of the Apostle John. The Savior’s gaze is fixed on John and His mother, whom He loves. He entrusts his learner with a very important and prestigious responsibility. After seeing his mother and the disciple whom he adored standing nearby, Jesus addressed her as “Woman, here is your son,” and the disciple as “Dear disciple, here is your mother.” She was welcomed into the home of this disciple from that point forward.
- First and foremost, we witness that, despite His tremendous suffering, Jesus never wavered in his affection for His mother.
- Throughout His life, Jesus was obedient to the law.
- Keeping in mind that Jesus was quite explicit about His regard for the law.
- “Do not believe that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them.” “Do not imagine that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets.” Matt.
Sayings of Jesus on the Cross4: “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”Matt 27:46
This is considered by many to be the most puzzling passage in the Bible. Jesus is subjected to a variety of trials. In addition to being beaten and tormented, he is insulted and spit on. A whipping is applied to the Savior, and He is next wounded in the heart with a crown of thorns, and finally with nails in His wrists and feet. What did Jesus say on the cross, at the height of His pain, was recorded. Towards the ninth hour, Jesus cried out in a loud voice and said, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” which translates as “My God, My God, why have You deserted Me?” 27:46 (Matthew 27:46) Is it possible that God forsook Jesus?
- This is the interpretation that many people have given to Jesus’ words.
- Many think that Jesus was quoting directly from the holy songs of the psalms when He spoke this on the cross, and that this is the most correct interpretation.
- In the midst of all of His difficulties, Jesus opted to give thanks.
- Please read the following article to find out more about why Jesus cried out to his Father: “My God, My God, Why have You deserted Me?”
Sayings of Jesus on the Cross5: “I thirst” John 19:28
What did Jesus say on the cross that not only captured the essence of both His humanity and His agony, but also captured the essence of His humanity and suffering? “I’m thirsty,” Jesus declared. These two simple, yet powerful, phrases serve as a sharp reminder that what our Lord went through was a very genuine experience in his life. As His earthly flesh decayed, He experienced terrible anguish and discomfort as He carried the sins of the world, something that only God could accomplish. Later, knowing that all had now been completed and that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus expressed his need by saying, “I have come to drink.” John 19:28 (NIV) In His journey to redeem the world and bring in eternal life, Jesus endured no little amount of suffering.
This is simply another manifestation of the depths of God’s love for each and every person.
Sayings of Jesus on the Cross6: “It is finished” John 19:30
This is the sixth declaration that Jesus made on the cross, and it is one that every Christian may rely on for assurance in their relationship with God. According to Mark 15:37, Jesus let forth a piercing yell. That resounding “it is completed,” according to some researchers, might have been the strong words “It is finished.” These are some of the most profound phrases that have ever been said. The fulfillment of all of God’s promises is symbolized by this single phrase. As far back as the Garden of Eden, the Father announced a plan for the redemption of mankind (Genesis 3:5).
- But what did Jesus say while hanging on the cross?
- On the Jewish Day of Atonement, the statement “It is completed” held special meaning since it signified the completion of the ritual.
- Jesus’ death, on the other hand, was the ultimate and last sacrifice that put a stop to all sacrifices.
- Every error and transgression was paid for in full, and there was no more money to be made.
- Every Christian understands that “It is done” is more than a phrase; it is a war cry in their lives.
- Death is no longer something to be feared.
- Hebrews 2:13-15 (New International Version)
Sayings of Jesus on the Cross7: “Father, into Your Hands I commit my Spirit.” Luke 23:46
On the crucifixion, what did Jesus have to say in His dying moments? “Father, I surrender My Spirit into Your Hands,” he murmured. “I commit My Spirit into Your Hands.” With the exception of one phrase, this last outburst may be summarized as follows: The term in question is “willingness.” Despite the fact that He had the option to choose a different path, Jesus was prepared to die and give Himself up. Looking at Jesus’ comments, it is clear that there was no misunderstanding concerning His authority.
When Jesus was arrested, he said to Peter, “Do you think I won’t be able to call on my Father, and he will immediately put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?” But how then will the Scriptures be fulfilled that declare it must happen in this way?” Matthew 26:53 (KJV) Jesus understood that the events that were about to unfold had a greater significance than the suffering he was experiencing.
- Therefore, He chose to let it.
- Imagine being in the office of your Governor and declaring “You have no control over me.” This is understanding that the Governor has the last word in many of the State’s legislative concerns.
- Yet, there is a bravery and Jesus that comes from very crucial places.
- Jesus was in control and once He knew He had fulfilled the Old Testament prophecies and was clearly the Messiah that all of Israel had hoped for called out in a loud voice these important words.
Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this, he breathed his last. John 19:11 Jesus willingly suffered and died. He did it at the cross not only because it was God’s will at the moment, but it was God’s will from the beginning of time.
Here’s what other’s said at the cross
When Jesus took his last breath, a massive earthquake shook the world. The curtain in the temple has been torn in half entirely. They were astounded by what He had said and done, as well as by the indications that followed after He had spoken and done it. 3 The Gospels make specific mention of the Roman Guard, who stood there and made a forceful statement at the foot of the crucifixion. When Jesus was arrested, the soldier said that He “really was the son of God,” according to Matthew 27:54 and Mark 15:39, respectively.
What we do know is that the death of Jesus had a profound impact on those who witnessed it.
That even those who are hostile to us will be amazed by the God who lives inside us is an incredible illustration of what may happen when we choose to follow God’s Will during difficult circumstances.
Never give up!
What did Jesus say on the cross? | A recap of the sayings of Jesus
Each and every one of our lives would be transformed if we just studied Jesus’ sayings and asked the question, “What did Jesus say on the cross?” Takeaways from Jesus’ words on the cross that, if applied to one’s own life, have the potential to transform one’s life forever are presented here:
- “Father, pardon them since they are unaware of what they are doing.” (Matthew 23:34) When it comes to forgiving and praying for your adversaries, Jesus sets the standard. Are you able to forgive those who have wronged you? “Today you will be with me in paradise,” Jesus says. (Matthew 23:43) Every person who calls on His Name will be able to find their path. Will you be like that thief and make a decision today to say, “I want to be with you, Jesus”
- “Woman, behold your son”
- Or “Woman, behold your daughter”? (John 19:26-27) Jesus was extremely concerned for His family and placed God’s will first in all He did. What do you do when things are tough? Are you willing to put your attention on caring for others around you and obeying God’s will
- “My God, My God, why have You deserted Me”? (Matthew 27:46
- Mark 1:15) Jesus directed His gaze away from earth and toward the heavens at His most trying time. He did not scream out with complaints, but rather with a hymn of adoration. Can you give thanks to God and remember that He is loyal to His children, even in the midst of your most difficult circumstances
- “I hunger” (See also John 19:28) Jesus was willing to suffer for the greater good. “It is completed,” says God, if you are ready to endure hardship in order to accomplish what God intends for you in life. John is a fictional character created by the author of the novel The Assassin’s Creed (19:30) When it came time to finish His mission, Jesus didn’t slack off. So many people gave up before we could complete our victory. Are you willing to finish what you start for Jesus
- “Father, into Your Hands I commit my Spirit”
- “Father, into Your Hands I submit my Spirit”
- “Father, into Your Hands I commit my Spirit” (Luke 23:46) When Jesus died for us, He did it voluntarily. If you believe that it is time to entirely surrender your life to God,
