The crucifixion saved him [Jesus]. He never had to deal with the fact that the kingdom of God wasn't ever going to come.

But he must have been the most fascinating man. Philip Pullman

When I sign people's stuff I put down John 3:16 and 17. Most people can tell you what 16 says, OK. 'For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son.'

If he didn't do it, then hey, we definitely are not qualified to do it. Si Robertson

jesus selfish ungrateful
The basis for the ethics of the Sermon on the Mount is not what works but rather the way God is. Cheek-turning is not advocated as what works (it usually does not), but advocated because this is the way God is - God is kind to the ungrateful and the selfish. This is not a stratagem for getting what we want but the only manner of life available, now that, in Jesus, we have seen what God wants. We seek reconciliation with the neighbor, not because we feel so much better afterward, but because reconciliation is what God is doing in the world through Christ. Stanley Hauerwas
