“The Lord does not require us to wear a [cassock] — He wants us to be good and kind.”— Thaddeus of Vitovnica Related Quotes “I have always known that the best of the Saracens could out-Christian many of us Christians.”— Ellis Peters “That’s who Jesus Christ is. He became the final Priest and the final Sacrifice. Sinless, he did not offer sacrifices for himself. Immortal, he never has to be replaced. Human, he could bear human sins. Therefore he did not offer sacrifices for himself; he offered himself as the final sacrifice. There will never be the need for another. There is one mediator between us and God. One priest. We need no other. Oh, how happy are those who draw near to God through Christ alone.”— John Piper “God can turn stones into bread, and a sinner can turn bread into stones; the bread of life into the stone of stumbling.”— Thomas Watson
