The better question might be,
What do these words not do?
The words our Master gave us
Do more for us than
we can possibly imagine.
Let me give you a first-hand account:
Christ's words have --
Healed me,
Made me more loving,
Removed fears,
Given me the courage
to please God rather than people,
Opened channels for
greater usefulness to others,
Simplified my life greatly,
Inspired/instructed/defended/comforted,
Freed me from unnecessary social obligations,
Given me calmness
in trying circumstances,
Brought lovely friendships
with those who love and live
what Jesus taught.
I could go on and on and on,
but as I said at the outset,
what do Jesus' words not do for us?
