Tobias Forge Quotes

Many people first encounter Jesus during childhood when they are suddenly confronted by a horrifying statue of a man nailed to a cross, and this is often a most unfortunate and repulsive beginning.

I didn't read comic books; that's not something that was really available to me as a child. We watched more cartoons and movies.

I didn't grow up on comics, and I read very few.

I didn't grow up reading magazines; I was very much in an environment where that would have been deemed trivial, frivolous.

My mom gave me the children stories of the Bible. I memorized that book at the age of nine.

I love 'Jesus Christ Superstar.'

When Jesus died on the cross, so did your sin; when He rose from the dead, so did your HOPE.

There is only one door, one bridge, one ladder, between earth and heaven - the crucified Son of God.

Jesus Christ opened heaven's door for us by His death on the cross.

No other God have I but thee, born in a manger, died on a tree.

I'm sure my first nine years have had a powerful influence on the kind of books I write.

Jesus on the Cross feels the whole weight of the evil, and with the force of God's love he conquers it, he defeats it with his resurrection.

Jesus Christ is the outstanding personality of our time. Every act and word of Jesus has value for us. He became the light of the world. Why shouldn't I, a Jew, be proud of that?

Jesus Christ who was of the race of David, who was the Son of Mary, who was truly born and ate and drank, was truly persecuted under Pontius Pilate, was truly crucified and died in the sight of those in heaven and on earth and those under the earth; who moreover was truly raised from the dead, His Father having raised Him, who in the like fashion will so raise us also who believe on Him.

To abandon all, to strip one's self of all, in order to seek and follow Jesus Christ naked to Bethlehem where He was born, naked to the hall where He was scourged, and naked to Calvary where He died on the cross, is so great a mystery that neither the thing nor the knowledge of it, is given to any but through faith in the Son of God.

It was this same Jesus, the Christ who, among many other remarkable things, said and repeated something which, proceeding from any other being would have condemned him at once as either a bloated egotist or a dangerously unbalanced person...when He said He himself would rise again from the dead, the third day after He was crucified, He said something that only a fool would dare say, if he expected longer the devotion of any disciples-unless He was sure He was going to rise. No founder of any world religion known to men ever dared say a thing like that!

In the whole story of Jesus Christ, the most important event is the resurrection.
