2. Jesus is… Jesus did not mean to impose himself on mankind as the son of God. – Thomas Jefferson Jesus was the first socialist, the first to seek a better life for mankind. – Mikail Gorbachev I see Christ as a state of consciousness we can all aspire to. – Deepak Chopra  Christ is the therapist for all of humanity. – Rollo May (American psychologist)

3. Mark 8:34-9:1 And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it. For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?

4. For what can a man give in return for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” And he said to them, “Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God after it has come with power.”

5. Jesus Christ, Son of God Mark 8:29 And he asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him, “You are the Christ.” Mark 15:39 And when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that in this way he breathed his last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”

They would not satisfy us, and make us happy while we had them. They could only be enjoyed for a few years, at best, and must then be left for evermore.

8. Of all unprofitable and foolish bargains that man can make, the worst is that of giving up his soul's salvation for the sake of this present world. It is a bargain of which thousands, like Esau, who sold his birth-right for a mess of pottage, have repented--but many, unhappily, like Esau, have repented too late. - J.C. Ryle
