Heaven and earth Quote by Rice Broocks
““It is impossible to read the Gospels or Paul and come away with the impression that Jesus of Nazareth thought of Himself as a mere man. Jesus said much about Himself that would have been outlandish if He were just a man. “I am the light of the world.” —John 8:12 “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.” —Mark 13:31 “For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” —Matthew 18:20 NKJV The prophets who spoke for God prefaced their statements with the phrase, “Thus says the Lord.” But when Jesus spoke, He didn’t say, “Thus says the Lord,” but instead He made comments such as “Truly I say to you.” He spoke in such terms because the Lord was speaking. JESUS DEMONSTRATED HE IS THE MESSIAH””
