Every Word of Jesus Right at Your Fingertips Haven’t you wished you could ask Jesus any question and get his immediate help with the biggest problems you face? Introduction The Greatest Words Ever Spoken I tell you, I know men, and Jesus Christ was no mere man! They would have to impart hope to those in despair, joy to those whose hearts are broken, and peace that subdues even the most paralyzing fears. To earn the ranking of the greatest words ever spoken, the words would have to exert enough power to transform a hateful heart into a loving one, a mind driven by greed into one overflowing with generosity, a life ruled by arrogance into one that is driven by the desire to serve others. And if they were truly the greatest words ever spoken, they would have the power to give sight to the blind, deliverance to the captive, forgiveness to the wrongdoer, and life to the dead. To. succeed in life, to understand yourself, and to gain wisdom about your present. and your future, you need to learn everything Jesus said about you. If you choose to follow Him, then all of his 108 promises are promises you can count on–promises that. will produce peace in a troubled heart, joy in the midst of tragedy, success in. place of failure, and most important, a glorified life that lasts for eternity. Napoleon Bonaparte, the emperor of France and one of the greatest military geniuses who ever lived, concluded that Jesus was no mere man. His ideas and sentiments, the truth which He announces, His manner of convincing, are not explained either by human organization or by the nature of things… The nearer I approach, the more carefully I examine, everything is above me–everything remains grand, of a grandeur which overpowers.… One can absolutely find nowhere, but in Him alone, the imitation or the example of His life… I search in vain in history to find the similar to Jesus Christ. Think about it: how could one man from an obscure village in the Middle East have changed so many millions of lives as well as the course of history? After being falsely accused and then convicted in a rigged trial, He was sentenced to death by an official who believed Him to be innocent. In first-century Palestine, the thought that Jesus’ life might make a significant impact on anyone beyond the Judean countryside was laughable. How could one man’s life impact humanity to a greater extent than any other person or any series of events in history? Jesus did it all, not with money, armies, science, or politics, but with the witness of His life and the power of His words. His life and the miracles He performed attracted the attention of the crowds, but it was what He said that melted their hearts and transformed their lives. Countless people are so unaware of first-century history that they are swayed by baseless myths perpetuated by works of fiction such as The Da Vinci Code. It’s important to realize that Jesus did not make these promises to people who followed the words of any other teacher, prophet, or leader. He accused them of not knowing God and said they had used religion to bind people to a life of misery, frustration, and failure. Imagine what it would be like if you could consistently experience His presence and a level of peace and joy that no adversity could vanquish. He turned water into wine and caused the blind to receive their sight, the lame to walk, and the dead to rise. As you begin to store up His words in your mind and heart, you will discover their life-changing power in ways you never thought possible. This will enable you to read everything Jesus said without the interruption of commentary, transitional scenes, and details about the activities of the people who surrounded Him. In a matter of minutes, you can read everything He said about a topic, which will help you gain a deeper understanding of His teachings. People who have read Jesus’ words as they are organized in this book say they gained a depth of wisdom and experienced a life-changing power far greater than they could have imagined. As a result, the foundation of our beliefs is a combination of truth and falsehood, including contradictory information and false assumptions. May He bless you in your pursuit of intimacy with God and the eternal truths revealed by His incomparable words. If you’re seeking an answer to a specific question, a quick reading of Jesus’ words on that topic will meet that need. If you’re wrestling with an important decision, the wisdom and inspiration you seek can be found by reading His words on the appropriate topics. Depending on the topic and how you approach it, the spiritual meal can range from a quick-energy bar to an entire buffet. Because the wisdom offered on each topic comes solely from the undiluted statements of Christ, their breadth, depth, and power are enlightening, faith building, and life changing. The promised benefits, set in boldface type, are you’ll receive eternal life and you won’t be subject to God’s judgment. When you underline or highlight the key points of every statement of Jesus as you study them, something wonderful happens. As you read all of Christ’s statements on a given topic and underline or highlight the key points, you’ll see the pieces of the puzzle come together to create a clear picture of what He is teaching. One of my friends asked his wife and his children to put their initials beside each topic they wanted to study. John’s account of Jesus’ life conveys an unmistakable warmth and a sense of immediacy. I hope you will accept his invitation as you read Jesus’ words addressing various subjects in this book. His words will provide abundant light and perfect wisdom for any decision you face and all the power you will need to overcome any adversity. In my forty-three years of discovering and relying on His words, I have experienced miraculous outcomes in every area of my life.
