WISE WORDS FROM THE ANCIENTS


 

Come see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?

Samaritan lady, 1st Century CE

Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Messiah crucified: a stumbling block to the Jewish mind and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Messiah the power of God and the wisdom of God.

Rabbi Sha'ul 

Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon. "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."

Isaiah 

Who can say, "I have kept my heart pure; I am clean and without sin"?

Proverbs of Solomon

We have all gone astray like sheep; each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid the iniquity of us all on him.

Isaiah

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.

Messiah Yeshua

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Messiah Yeshua 

For it is by God's undeserved goodness to you that you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast.

Rabbi Sha'ul 

Change your mind and attitude to God, and turn to him, so he can cleanse away your sins, and send you wonderful times of refreshment from the presence of the Lord, and send Yeshua your Messiah back to you again.

Shimon Kefa

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Messiah may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Messiah, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge - that you may be filled to the measure of all the fulness of God.
