Jerusalem, Israel…A Bit of Wisdom from Christ on Good Friday.

The Head of Christ painting by Warner Sallman, 1941

“But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.”

“All the commandments: You shall not commit adultery, you shall not kill, you shall not steal, you shall not covet, and so on, are summed up in this single command: You must love your neighbor as yourself.”

“For God so loved the World that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”

“Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day’s own trouble be sufficient for the day.”

“So I say to you, Ask and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.”

“Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to cast a stone.”
