Quotes about Jesus by famous men

Albert Einstein

“I am a Jew, but I am enthralled by the luminous figure of the Nazarene. No man can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with such life.”

Napoleon Bonaparte

“I know men, and I tell you that Jesus Christ is no mere man. Between him and every person in the world there is no possible term of comparison. Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I have founded empires. But on what did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ founded his empire upon love; and at this hour millions of men would die for him.”

H.G. Wells

“I am an historian; I am not a believer. But, I must confess as an historian that this penniless preacher from Nazareth is irrevocably the center of history. Jesus Christ is easily the most dominant figure in all history.”

Thomas Jefferson

“Had the doctrines of Jesus been preached always as pure as they came from his lips, the whole civilized world would now have been Christian.”

Vincent van Gogh

“It is a very good thing that you read the Bible. The Bible is Christ. The Old Testament leads up to this culminating point: Christ alone.”

Leo Tolstoy

“For thirty-five years of my life I was, in the proper acceptation of the word, a nihilist,—not a revolutionary socialist, but a man who believed in nothing. Five years ago faith came to me; I believed in the doctrine of Jesus Christ, and my whole life underwent a sudden transformation. Life and death ceased to be evil. Instead of despair I tasted joy and happiness that death could not take away.”
