PARAPHRASED QUOTES AND STORIES FROM JESUS
The Meaning of the Cross (For the message about Christ’s death on the cross is nonsense to those who are being lost.)
Jesus relates his cross to the bronze snake Moses made to heal the people bitten and dying from snake bites! More quotes by Jesus and Paul about the cross.
You may be wondering, when did Jesus paraphrase his own words? There are examples where the disciples asked Jesus to explain the meaning of what He said. And Jesus asked them, "why are having trouble understanding this?" Then He would explain it to them in another way.
