20 AMAZING THINGS JESUS SAID

During His time on Earth Jesus had an awesome perspective on life, values & what should be really important to us. Enjoy this list of 20 Amazing Things Jesus Said...

1. THE WAY:
  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. – John 14:6 ~ We get access to the Father through Jesus.

2. KINGDOM FIRST:  But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. - Matthew 6:33 ~ Prioritize the Kingdom and God will take care of the rest.

3. RECEIVE BLESSINGS:
  And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. – Luke 11:9 ~ God is ready to bless you. Ask.

4. SALT:
  Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? – Luke 14:34 ~ There are no substitutes for holiness.

5. KEEP IT SIMPLE:
  But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. – Matthew 5:34-37 ~ Sometimes we use our words to gain the approval of others. 'Yes' or 'No' is much safer.

6. POWER & AUTHORITY
But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. –Matthew 12:28 ~ Jesus caused God's Kingdom to infiltrate the Earth and take back territory.

7. HUMILITY:
  And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also. – Luke 6:29 ~ If we lower ourselves, God will lift us up. Trust Him.

8. UNCONDITIONAL LOVE:  But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; Matthew 5:44 ~ Love, because He first loved you.

9. LOVING THE LOST:
  What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. – Luke 15:4-6 ~ God's heart is that none should perish.

10. SHOWING MERCY:
  Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: – Luke 6:37 ~ Seriously, let it go. We all need mercy and grace.

11. KINGDOM POSITIONING:  But many that are first shall be last; and the last first. – Mark 10:31 ~ It is better to serve, than to be served.

12. CHRIST FOLLOWER:
  And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. – Matthew 10:38 ~ It's not an easy road, but it's worth it.

13. TRULY LIVING:  He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. – John 12:25 ~ Giving your life away to serve others is truly living.

14. SPIRITUAL HAPPINESS:  Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh. – Luke 6:21 ~ Spiritual growth can be painful, but comes with lasting joy.

15. OUR WORTH TO GOD:
  Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. Matthew 10:29-31 ~ Stop worrying. God will take care of you.

16. KINGDOM VALUE:  Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. – Matthew 13:44 ~ Kingdom pursuit should be our highest aim in life.

17. AVOIDING WORLDLINESS:  For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? – Mark 8:36 ~ The world is not our life source.

18. A CLEAN HEART:  There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. – Mark 7:15 ~ As a man thinks all along in his heart, so he is at last in act.

19. SERVE OTHERS:  For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. – Mark 10:45 ~ Service is apart of our Kingdom duty.

20. FOLLOW WISDOM, NOT FOLLY:  And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? – Luke 6:39 ~ Follow Christ and those that follow Him too.
