“If a man turns his back on Christ when He speaks, the hour will come when he will ask and receive no answer.”
James Stalker, The Life of Jesus Christ: A Biographical Overview of the Life of Christ

“These are the things that gave [Jesus] such faith and fearlessness in His work. He knew that the call to do it had come from God, and He knew that He was immortal until it was done.

This was what made Him, with all His self-consciousness and originality, the pattern of meekness and submission, for He was forever bringing every thought and wish into obedience to His Father’s will.

This was the secret of the peace and majestic calmness that imparted such a stateliness to His demeanour in the most difficult hours of life. He knew that the worst that could happen to Him was His Father’s will for Him, and that was enough.”
James Stalker, The Life of Jesus Christ: A Biographical Overview of the Life of Christ

“There is no more critical test of theologies and theologians than the question what message they have to a dying person whose sins are unforgiven. If the salvation which a preacher has to offer is only a course of moral improvement, what can he have to say in such a place?”
