“So wichtig sicher die Kategorie von Verheißung und Erfüllung für das Verhältnis von Altem und Neuem Testament ist, so groß ist auch die Gefahr, Christus im Alten Testament nicht als den Gegenwärtigen, sondern nur als den großen Abwesenden zu finden.”
― Benjamin Kilchör, "Und es geschah eine Stimme aus der Wolke..."

“God’s word does what it says. It transforms sinners into saints by the forgiveness of their sins. It changed meaningless chaos into order at creation, and his word can do the same for you.”
― Harold L. Senkbeil, Christ and Calamity: Grace and Gratitude in the Darkest Valley

“Jesus defeated death by his own death. Satan sought to be the devourer, but he ended up being the one devoured—because God cannot die. As God, Jesus is life, and so death has no power over him. Jesus—who is both God and man—suffered and died and rose again in his human body. With his flesh and blood intact, he destroyed death and made captivity captive.”
― Harold L. Senkbeil, Christ and Calamity: Grace and Gratitude in the Darkest Valley

“In winning, you lose—but in losing for Jesus’ sake, you win. You’ll be humbled—but Jesus lifts up the lowly. In giving you receive; in pardoning you are pardoned. And in dying you are born to eternal life.”
― Harold L. Senkbeil, Christ and Calamity: Grace and Gratitude in the Darkest Valley
