What Did Jesus Say?

You hear a lot of people today talking about what Jesus would say or do in certain situations.  Actually, I don't think most really know what He truly has said, but it did prompt me to go through the Bible and read all the red letters through the gospels.  I encourage you to do the same if you have not done that in a while.

So what does Jesus say?

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind.  Love your neighbor as yourself.
But I tell you anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.
Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.
Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you...
Do not judge, or you too will be judged.
Not everyone who says to me, "Lord, Lord" will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Do not suppose I have come to bring peace to the earth.  I did not come to bring peace, but sword.
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 
But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.  For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.
What goes into a man's mouth does not make him "unclean," but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him unclean.
For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.
Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.
Therefore, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear.  Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
I am the bread of life.
I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.
I am the good shepherd.  I know my sheep and my sheep know me.
Love one another.  As I have loved you, so you must love one another.  By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.
I am the way, the truth, and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through me.
If you love me, you will obey what I command.
I am the vine; you are the branches.
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

These are just a few of the things that jumped out at me as I read through what Jesus said.  May I never forget the words of Jesus.  May I live them out this year.

Blessings,
