Jesus Christ – Quote Catch

2 Nephi 26:33… For none of these iniquities come of the Lord; for he doeth that which is good among the children of men; and he doeth nothing save it be plain unto the children of men, and he invited them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew, and Gentiles
“There are two influences in the world today and have been from the beginning. One is an influence that is constructive, that radiates happiness, and that builds character. The other influence is one that destroys, turns men into demons, tears down, and discourages. We are all susceptible to both. The one comes from our Heavenly Father and the other comes from the source of evil that has been in the world from the beginning seeking to bring about the destruction of the human family. We will all be tempted; no man is free from temptation. The adversary will use every means possible to deceive us; he tried to do that with the Savior of the world without success. He has tried it on many other men who have possessed divine authority….”Teachings of Presidents of the Church: George Albert Smith, Chapter 18: Stay on the Lord’s Side of the Line
“Trust me, learn of me, do what I do. Then, when you walk where I am going,” He says, “we can talk about where you are going, and the problems you face and the troubles you have. If you will follow me, I will lead you out of darkness,” He promises. “I will give you answers to your prayers. I will give you rest to your souls.”Broken Things to Mend (Jeffrey R.

“I think also of that night when Christ rushed to the aid of His frightened disciples, walking as He did on the water to get to them, calling out, “It is I; be not afraid.” Peter exclaimed, “Lord if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.” Christ’s answer to him was as it always is, every time: “Come,” He said. Instantly, as was his nature, Peter sprang over the vessel’s side and into the troubled waters. While his eyes were fixed upon the Lord, the wind could toss his hair and the spray could drench his robes, but all was well—he was coming to Christ. It was only when his faith wavered and fear took control, only when he removed his glance from the Master to look at the furious waves and the ominous black gulf beneath, only then did he begin to sink into the sea. In newer terror, he cried out, “Lord, save me.” Undoubtedly with some sadness, the Master over every problem and fear, He who is the solution to every discouragement and disappointment, stretched out His hand and grasped the drowning disciple with the gentle rebuke, “O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?” (; emphasis added).” Broken Things to Mend (Jeffrey R.

“In Nazareth, the narrow road, That tires the feet and steals the breath, Passes the place where once abode The Carpenter of Nazareth. And up and down the dusty way The village folk would often wend; And on the bench, beside Him, lay Their broken things for Him to mend. The maiden with the doll she broke, The woman with the broken chair, The man with broken plough, or yoke, Said, “Can you mend it, Carpenter?” And each received the thing he sought, In yoke, or plough, or chair, or doll; The broken thing which each had brought Returned again a perfect whole. So, up the hill the long years through, With heavy step and wistful eye, The burdened souls their way pursue, Uttering each the plaintive cry: “O Carpenter of Nazareth, This heart, that’s broken past repair, This life, that’s shattered nigh to death, Oh, can You mend them, Carpenter?” And by His kind and ready hand, His own sweet life is woven through Our broken lives, until they stand A New Creation—” all things new.” “The shattered [substance] of [the] heart, Desire, ambition, hope, and faith, Mould Thou into the perfect part, O, Carpenter of Nazareth!”Broken Things to Mend (Jeffrey R.

“This relationship between Christ and His Father is one of the sweetest and most moving themes running through the Savior’s ministry. Jesus’ entire being, His complete purpose, and delight were centered in pleasing His Father and obeying His will. Of Him He seemed always to be thinking; to Him, He seemed always to be praying. Unlike us, He needed no crisis, no discouraging shift in events to direct His hopes heavenward. He was already instinctively, longingly looking that way.” Broken Things to Mend (Jeffrey R. Holland) Kindle Loc. 296-99
“He was and is the great central figure of human history, the zenith of the times and seasons of all men.” (Gordon B. Hinckley, Ensign, Nov. 1999, 73)
“No grief is so great, no pain so profound, no burden so unbearable that is beyond His healing touch.” (Joseph B. Wirthlin, Ensign, Apr. 2001, 9)
“Across the centuries, no experience has been more universal and helpful in the sense of someone caring for us, near enough to be called upon, responsive enough to understand. He is real and he is personal and should be idealized but also realized. We must not only possess the idea of God but we should be possessed by it. Men do not believe in God because they have proved Him. Rather they try endlessly to prove Him because they can’t help believing in Him.” (Hugh B. Brown, “God is the Gardener,” May 31, 1968, 10)
“If you sense that one day every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord, why not do so know? For in the coming of that collective confession, it will mean much less to kneel down when it is no longer possible to stand up!” (Neal A. Maxwell, Ensign, Nov. 1974, 13)
“His clearly defined footprints are easy to see. They are pressed distinctly and deeply into the soil of the second estate, deeply and distinctly because of the enormous weight which pressed down upon Him; including the awful burden of all of our individual sins. Only He could have carried it all. I thank the Savior personally for bearing all which I added to His hemorrhaging at every pore for all of humanity in Gethsemane. I thank Him for bearing what I added to the decibels of His piercing soul-cry atop Calvary.” (Neal A. Maxwell, Ensign, May 1988, 9)
“Amid the Babel of prescriptions from ‘so many kinds of voices in the world,’ rescuing and redeeming perspective requires our coming to know who Jesus Christ is, how He lived, and what He died for.” (Neal A. Maxwell, Ensign, May 1994, 91)
“Jesus waits ‘with open arms to receive’ those who finally overcome by faith and hope. His welcome will consist not of a brief, loving pat but, instead, of being ‘clasped in the arms of Jesus’!” (Neal A. Maxwell, Ensign, Nov. 1994, 36)
“ ‘Here am I, send Me’ – Never has anyone offered to do so much for so many with so few words…” (Neal A. Maxwell, Searching for God in America, 131)
“The person who does what Jesus says comes to know who Jesus is.” (Keith B. McMullin, Ensign, May 2004, 34)
“He will reveal Himself in the toils, the conflicts, the sufferings that [we] shall pass through in his fellowship; and [we] shall learn by [our] own experience who He is. We will discover He is more than the Babe in Bethlehem, more than the Carpenter’s Son, more than the greatest teacher ever to live. We will come to know Him as the Son of God, our Savior, and our Redeemer.” (Thomas S. Monson, Ensign, May 1986, 39)
“… No man could do what he did for us. He did not have to die, he could have refused. He did it voluntarily. He did it because it was a commandment from his Father. He knew what the suffering was going to be; and yet, because of his love for us, he was willing to do it. …” Chapter 3: The Plan of Salvation, Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Fielding Smith, (2013), 58–71
“The driving of the nails into his hands and into the Savior’s feet was the least part of his suffering. We get into the habit, I think, of feeling, or thinking that his great suffering was being nailed to the cross and left to hang there. Well, that was a period in the world’s history when thousands of men suffered that way. So his suffering, so far as that is concerned, was not any more than the suffering of other men who have been so crucified. What, then, was his great suffering? I wish we could impress this fact upon the minds of every member of this Church: His great suffering occurred before he ever went to the cross. It was in the Garden of Gethsemane, so the scriptures tell us, that blood oozed from every pore of his body; and in the extreme agony of his soul, he cried to his Father. It was not the nails driven into his hands and feet. Now do not ask me how that was done because I do not know. Nobody knows. All we know is that in some way he took upon himself that extreme penalty. He took upon him our transgressions, and paid a price, a price of torment.” Chapter 3: The Plan of Salvation, Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Fielding Smith, (2013), 58–71
““The Son of God [said]: “I’ll go down and pay the price. I’ll be the Redeemer and redeem men from Adam’s transgression. I’ll take upon me the sins of the world and redeem or save every soul from his own sins who will repent.” 12Let us illustrate: A man walking along the road happens to fall into a pit so deep and dark that he cannot climb to the surface and regain his freedom. How can he save himself from his predicament? Not by any exertions on his own part, for there is no means of escape in the pit. He calls for help, and some kindly disposed soul, hearing his cries for relief, hastens to his assistance and by lowering a ladder, gives to him the means by which he may climb again to the surface of the earth. This was precisely the condition that Adam placed himself and his posterity in, when he partook of the forbidden fruit. All being together in the pit, none could gain the surface and relieve the others. The pit was banishment from the presence of the Lord and temporal death, the dissolution of the body. And all being subject to death, none could provide the means of escape. 13The Savior comes along, not subject to that pit, and lowers the ladder. He comes down into the pit and makes it possible for us to use the ladder to escape. 14” Chapter 3: The Plan of Salvation, Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Fielding Smith, (2013), 58–71
2 Nephi 9:26... For the atonement satisfieth the demands of his justice upon all those who have not the law given to them, that they are delivered from that awful monster, death, and hell, and the devil and the lake of fire and brimstone, which is endless torment; and they are restored to that God who gave them breath, which is the Holy One of Israel.
Matthew 11: 28-30…28 Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavily laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
“It is most natural and just that he who commits the wrong should pay the penalty—atone for his wrongdoing. Therefore, when Adam was the transgressor of the law, justice demanded that he, and none else, should answer for the sin and pay the penalty with his life. But Adam, in breaking the law, himself became subject to the curse, and being under the curse could not atone, or undo what he had done. Neither could his children, for they also were under the curse, and it required one who was not subject to the curse to atone for that original sin. Moreover, since we were all under the curse, we were also powerless to atone for our individual sins. It, therefore, became necessary for the Father to send His Only Begotten Son, who was free from sin, to atone for our sins as well as for Adam’s transgression, which justice demanded should be done. He accordingly offered himself a sacrifice for sins, and through his death upon the cross took upon himself both Adam’s transgression and our individual sins, thereby redeeming us from the fall, and from our sins, on condition of repentance.” Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Fielding Smith, (2013), 58–71
Mosiah 3: 5-11… Prophecy of Christ coming to earth to work might miracles, like healing the sick, raising the dead, causing the lame to walk, the blind to receive their sight, the deaf to hear, and curing of diseases, casting out devils, suffered all we did/do on earth, even until blood came from every pore. His name to be Jesus, and his mother Mary. He comes to his own (the Jews), and his own shall crucify him. After 3 days, he will resurrect. He will judge the children of men with a righteous judgment, and will atone for all.
Mosiah 3: 17… Salvation can only come to the children of men through Jesus Christ.
“October 27th, 1994 – Thursday. Puyo Ecuador...Today we were teaching Wilson and there was a guy hammering. When we were watching the 1st vision, it was close to the part of the vision and I knew it would touch him. Also, the people were getting rowdy. So I said a prayer in my mind and said In the name of Jesus for this man to stop hammering and for everything to be peaceful for the Vision part. 5 seconds later the man stopped hammering, the baby stopped crying and everyone paid attention to the video & was touched. Right after everything important was said in the video the noise started again. I know the Lord answers prayers. I realized a little bit that with faith and in the name of Jesus Christ I can do a lot of things. I also did the same for the Miranda family the 1st time we taught them. It was raining on their tin roof & we couldn’t hear the video. I prayed & it stopped raining. It started again after the video. I know Joseph Smith was a prophet. The Lord wants everyone to know this.” – Clinton Brown Missionary Journal
April 28th, 1995 – Friday. Quito, Ecuador… “Elder Hanks & I had a good study. I kind of realized how special we really are. If you think of all the people that chose to be on Christ’s side are now living in millions of different worlds. The strongest spirits were sent here to this world because this is where they sacrificed Jesus Christ. This was the only world wicked enough to do it. In this world, in the Last Days, the valiant were sent here to be able to live in the most wicked time. The next most valiant would be the church members. Out of all of these valiant spirits, only a few go on a mission. They’re the chosen of the valiant. If you could just imagine how special we actually are. Then, on top of that, to be a leader among the chosen is something mind-boggling. I don’t know what I did in the pre-existence but the Lord has blessed me a ton. He has helped me want to be the best I can. I have this deep desire to be righteous. I want to be like the Apostles, just because they’re so righteous and so smart & so spiritual & so right. I’m realizing little by little my potential. I’m very far from it but I’ll keep striving for it. I’m so glad to be an Elder, and I feel very privileged to be a leader. Man, I pray that the Lord guides my words, thoughts & action. I want to help Him & His work so bad. I pray I can. I love this work. I’m blessed all day & every day. Even during the tests.” – Clinton Brown Missionary Journal
1 Cor. 14:10; John. 10:27… “Amid the Babel of prescriptions from ‘so many kinds of voices in the world,’ rescuing and redeeming perspective requires our coming to know who Jesus Christ is, how He lived, and what He died for.” (Neal A. Maxwell, Ensign, May 1994, 91)

Matthew, Chapter 26: 56… But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him and fled.
John 3:16…How Jesus loves us, to suffer such spiritual and physical agony for our sake! How great the love of Heavenly Father that He would send His Only Begotten Son to suffer and die for the rest of His children. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life”
“I am grateful today for my affiliation with a people who have a firm conviction that God lives, that Jesus is the Christ; and I bear witness to you that the story off the babe born in the manger at Bethlehem is not a myth of the past, but that Jesus, the Son of God was born of Mary into mortality; that he lived among men; that he died upon the cross and was resurrected; that he actually and truly lives today; and that he is a personal being and is the Savior of the world.” The Teachings of Howard W. Hunter, Howard W. Hunter
“We know not what lies ahead of us. We know not what the coming days will bring. We live in a world of uncertainty. For some, there will be great accomplishment. For others, disappointment. For some, much of rejoicing and gladness, good health, and gracious living. For others, perhaps sickness and a measure of sorrow. We do not know. But one thing we do know. Like the polar star in the heavens, regardless of what the future holds, there stands the Redeemer of the world, the Son of God, certain and sure as the anchor of our immortal lives. He is the rock of our salvation, our strength, our comfort, the very focus of our faith” Manual, Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Gordon B Hinckley, Chapter 8, We Look to Christ
“The risen Lord spoke to Mary, and she replied. He was not an apparition. This was not imagination. He was real, as real as He had been in mortal life. He did not permit her to touch Him. He had not yet ascended to His Father in Heaven. That would happen shortly. What a reunion it must have been, to be embraced by the Father, who loved Him and who also must have wept for Him during His hours of agony. He would appear to two men on the road to Emmaus. He would converse with them and eat with them. He would meet with His Apostles behind closed doors and teach them. Thomas was not present on the first occasion. On the second occasion, the Lord invited him to feel of His hands and His side. In utter wonder he exclaimed: My Lord and my God (John 20:28). He spoke with 500 at [another] time. And there is another witness. This biblical companion, the Book of Mormon, testifies that He appeared not only to those of the Old World but also to those of the New. For had He not at one time declared, Other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd? (John 10:16).” Manual, Teachings of the President of the Church: Gordon B Hinkley, Chapter 8, We Look to Christ
