I don't go to movies for redemption - if I want that, I'll go to church!
At the cross God wrapped his heart in flesh and blood and let it be nailed to the cross for our redemption.
Jesus died to forgive our sins. Dare we make his martyrdom meaningless by not committing them?
It's a very bleak play, but there is some final sense of redemption. 'Coriolanus' shows mercy, a Christian virtue in an otherwise un-Christian world.
I challenge anyone to tell me there isn't evil in this world.
Christ receives people; because of that mercy, conversion happens.
The Savior of all mankind left the ninety and nine to find the one lost. That one who was lost need not have become lost.
The wicked are wicked, no doubt, and they go astray and they fall, and they come by their deserts: but who can tell the mischief which the very virtuous do?
On this Good Friday, a day when we recall our Savior’s own execution, we appeal to all people of goodwill, and especially Catholics, to work to end the death penalty …. The death penalty offers the tragic illusion that we can defend life by taking life.
For those who can raise up great evils can best allay them.
Advising the Roman Senate to place even greater powers in the hands of Pompey: Marcus Porcius Cato Uticensis
The whole Christian movement is based on the victim. Compulsion of the overt-motivator sequence. They won by appealing to victims. We can win by converting victims. Christianity succeeded by making people into victims. We can succeed by making victims into people
Despite the slowness, the infidelity, the errors and sins it committed and might still commit against its members, the Church, trust me, has no other meaning and goal but to live and witness Jesus.
Even the holy men who lived before the coming of Christ understood that God had in mind plans of peace for the human race.
The death of Christ proclaimed the justice and perpetuity of his Father's law in punishing the transgressor, in that he consented to suffer the penalty of the law himself, in order to save fallen man from its curse.
I was, by divine grace, enabled to bring all my sins and all my sorrows and lay them at the feet of Jesus, and to receive the blessed assurance that He had accepted me, all sinful and polluted as I was.
Lay the burden at the feet of the Savior.
It brings hope and peace of mind knowing that God gave His only begotten Son for us. I'm able to look back and know that on this day Jesus was born and gave us the opportunity to have eternal life.
Still falls the rain - dark as the world of man, black as our loss - blind as the nineteen hundred and forty nails upon the Cross.
Who doesn't like salvation?
The Christian notion of the possibility of redemption is incomprehensible to the computer.
The Gospel offers forgiveness for the past, new life for the present, and hope for the future.
God is waiting for us, to forgive us all, and what is broken, he'll fix.
The best way to use the gold of the Redeemer is for the redemption of those in peril.
The world is not yet redeemed.
I was out of control... I was a mess, but God has forgiven me.
