The following quotations have been drawned from President Jimmy Carter's book "Living Faith" about Jesus Christ.

To me personally, Jesus bridges the tremendous chasm between human beings and the seemingly remote and omnipotent God the Creator. The more I learn about omnipotent God the Creator. The more I learn about Jesus, the more complex and challenging are his teachings, and the more closely connected are God the Father and God the Son. It really comforts and satisfies me to equatethe almighty Creator with the humble but perfect Jesus, and to remember that "God is love" (p.233).

Jesus' intriguing and often delightful experiences are fascinating, and they offer examples of how to deal with our afflictios and concernes in a reassuring and joyful way. They give us priorities or standards for living. Almost any of our most exalted ideals can be explained, clarified, and expanded by what Jesus said and did. Jesus's teachings can help to put us at peace with both our Creator and our neighbors. All of this can be gratifying and valuable, regardless or our public profession of faith (p. 235).
