“If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you;

for it is better for you that one of your members perish,

than for your whole body to be cast into hell.”

“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’

But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman lustfully

has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”

“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder,

and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’ But I say to you that

whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger

of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ shall be in danger

of the council. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of hell fire.”

“For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness

of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.”

“Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil

against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your

reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”

“He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?”

Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you love Me?”

and he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.”

Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep.”

“Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture

might be fulfilled, said, “I thirst!” Now a vessel full of sour wine was standing there;

and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth.”

“When Jesus saw His mother, and the disciple

whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother: “Woman, behold your son!”

Then He said to the disciple: “Behold your mother!”

And from that hour that disciple received her spiritually into himself.”

“I revealed to them Your name, and I will continue to reveal it,

that the love with which You have loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”

“Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am,

that they may behold My glory which You have given Me;

for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.”

“That they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You;

that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.”

“And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to You.

Holy Father, keep them in Your name, which You have given me,

that they may be one, even as We are one.”

“And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God,

and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.”

“Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said:

“Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You.””

True happiness on this earth does not lie in abundance of property, wealth or career but in true peace. We can find this peace only in Christ. Supposing we seek it somewhere else or in someone else, we will not find it. We can by no means find this peace in the world. In the world we will only have tribulation. We must know it. There is no peace in the glory of the world, in vanity or in sin. If someone lives without Christ, he may look peaceful and be always smiling but such peace is just a piece of play-acting, deceit! One serious thought of death and God’s judgment, and everything comes apart at the seams.

“Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered,

each to his own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone,

because the Father is with Me.”
