"Jesus Christ was treated as we deserved so that when we believe in Jesus, God treats us as Jesus deserves."
"In some ways, Christians are homeless. Our true home is waiting for us, prepared by the Lord Jesus Christ."
"I am an historian, I am not a believer, but I must confess as a historian that this penniless preacher from Nazareth is irrevocably the very center of history. Jesus Christ is easily the most dominant figure in all history."

Christians from all other racial backgrounds owe to the Jewish people a spiritual debt which can never be calculated."
