From J. Sidlow Baxter, twentieth century Australian pastor and theologian
- Fundamentally, our Lord's message was Himself.He did not come merely to preach a Gospel; He himself is that Gospel.He did not come merely to give bread; He said, "I am the bread".He did not come merely to shed light; He said, "I am the light".He did not come merely to show the door; He said, "I am the door".He did not come merely to name a shepherd; He said, "I am the shepherd".He did not come merely to point the way; He said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life".
- Baxter's Explore the Book (1987) p. 308.
- Men may spurn our appeals, reject our message, oppose our arguments, despise our persons, but they are helpless against our prayers.
- Reported in Charlie Jones, Bob Kelly, The Tremendous Power of Prayer (2000) p. 46.
