'Jesus Himself
'Jesus Himself' by Andrew Murray, written in the late 19th century, is a religious treatise that emphasizes the importance of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The book outlines a progression of stages in the Christian life, illustrated by the story of the disciples on the road to Emmaus, and identifies four key stages: sadness, unbelief, joy, and personal knowledge of Christ. Murray argues that a deeper communion with Jesus leads to greater peace, holiness, and strength in one's faith journey.

“A dead Christ I must do everything for; a living Christ does everything for me.””

“Oh! my Lord Jesus, though I do not understand it, though I cannot grasp it, though my struggles avail nothing, I am not going to let Thee go. If it is possible for a sinner on earth to have Jesus every day, every hour, and every moment in resurrection power dwelling in his heart, shining within him, filling him with love and joy,”

“Can I always be thinking of Jesus? Thank God, you need not always be thinking of Him. You may be the manager of a bank, and your whole attention may be required to carry out the business that you have to do. But thank God, while I have to think of my business, Jesus will think of me, and He will come in and will take charge of me. That little child, three months old, as it sleeps in its mother's arms, lies helplessly there; it hardly knows its mother, it does not think of her, but the mother thinks of the child. And this is the blessed mystery of love, that Jesus the God-man waits to come in to me in the greatness of His love; and as He gets possession of my heart, He embraces me in those divine arms and tells me, "My child, I the Faithful One, I the Mighty One will abide with thee, will watch over thee and keep thee all the days.””

“If Christ is to give Himself wholly to me, He must know that He has me wholly for Himself;””
