Jesus Said That?

One of the many proofs that Jesus was the Son of God has to do with what He said. Two thousand years later, and having been meticulously scrutinized by generations of scholars, the words of Jesus are seen as expressing truth, compassion and knowledge one can trust and live by. The following is only a partial list of the sayings attributed to Jesus. The fact that these sayings are as popular today as they were in the first century is proof that Jesus was who He said He was…God incarnate (Mark 14: 61-62; John 14:9).
