Examples of Jesus in a Sentence

1. Eugene Reuweler:

   The true God is the unknown God to the natural man and also the unknowable God without His revelation in Christ. God is not only invisible to man's sight , but also to man's senses. In Christ is found a God who is near, who hears, who cares, who loves, and who saves. 'For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ' (2 Cor. 46) 'All things are delievered unto me of my Father and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father neither knoweth any man the Father, save the son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him' (Matt. 1127).

2. Zare Bahari:

3. Matthew Armfield:

   It is so unbelievably upsetting to see my father, Dan, and my fellow members of First Covenant experience the hate, deceit and actions that go against the teachings of love and inclusion that Jesus Christ preached.

4. Mwanandeke Kindembo:

   I'm afraid that Jesus coming as a thief, he might be hanged this time, instead of the crucifixion. Theft is prohibited. Even God doesn't like thieves.

5. Jerry Coleman:
