The Man of Sorrows has a part.

Sun of my soul! Thou Saviour dear,It is not night if Thou be near.
~John Keble

Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I have founded empires. But on what did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ founded his empire upon love; and at this hour millions of men would die for him.

The head that once was crowned with thorns
Is crowned with glory now.

~Thomas Kelley

They gave him a manger for a cradle, a carpenter's bench for a pulpit, thorns for a crown, and a cross for a throne. He took them and made them the very glory of his career.

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer's ear;
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
And drives away his fear.

~John Newton

The best of men
That e'er wore earth about Him was a Sufferer,
A soft, meek, patient, humble, tranquil spirit;
The first true gentleman that ever breathed.

And all the good you've done will soon be swept away,You've begun to matter more than the things you say.
~Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Weber, Jesus Christ Superstar

I know of a world that is sunk in shame,
Where hearts oft faint and tire;
But I know of a Name, a precious Name,
That can set that world on fire:
Its sound is sweet, its letters flame.
I know of a Name, a precious Name,
'Tis Jesus.

~J. Wilbur Chapman

As the print of the seal on the wax is the express image of the seal itself, so Christ is the express image - the perfect representation of God.

All the powers of darkness vanish;
Christ our Day-Star mounts the skies.

~Thomas Carlyle

We faintly hear, we dimly see,
In differing phrase we pray;
But dim or clear, we own in Him
The life, the truth, the way.

~John Greenleaf Whittier

Had Christ the death of death to death
Not given death by dying,
The gates of life had never been
To mortals open lying.

I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.
~Mahatma Gandhi

The wise still seek Him.
~Author Unknown

The unique impression of Jesus upon mankind - whose name is not so much written as ploughed into the history of the world - is proof of the subtle virtue of this infusion. Jesus belonged to the race of prophets. He saw with open eyes the mystery of the soul. One man was true to what is in you and me. He, as I think, is the only soul in history who has appreciated the worth of man.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Jesus died too soon. He would have repudiated His doctrine if He had lived to my age.
