things to pounder on

Spoken by Jesus: "...whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it." -- Matthew 16:25

Matt 7,
6"Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.

13"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

Matthew 22:29, 31b, 32
Jesus replied, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.
have you not read what God said to you, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not the God of the dead but of the living."

What makes Christianity exciting is that we serve a living God. I mean, Muhammad is dead, Buddha is dead, you name it... only Jesus was resurrected to life.
