About this ebook

Never before in history has anyone ever been able to hear only the words of Christ personally unless you lived at the time he did and was near enough to hear him speak about the true meaning and purpose in this life and eternal happiness in the next.

Using today’s technology and this unique book, it is now possible for you to hear only the words of Christ as though you were with him when he walked and talked on this earth making it especially helpful for the blind; those whose vision is impaired and have difficulty reading; or for those who do not wish to read or even for those who cannot read.

This ebook is truly special because it enables you to imagine yourself in the presence of Christ wherever and whenever you choose, at your own pace, in your own time while allowing the Holy Spirit another avenue to touch your soul and/or the soul of modern man.

    THE WORDS OF CHRIST By St Luke - Joe Procopio

    THE WORDS OF CHRIST

    If you have ears to hear, then hear.

    What made you search? Did you not know I was bound to be in my Father’s house?

    Scripture says, ‘Man cannot live on bread alone.’

    Scripture says, ‘You shall do homage to the Lord your God and worship him alone.’

    It has been said, ‘You are not to put the Lord your God to the test.’

    "The spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me;

    he has sent me to announce good news to the poor,

    to proclaim release for prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind;

    to let broken victims go free,

    to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor."

    Today in your very hearing this text has come true.

    No doubt you will quote the proverb to me, ‘Physician , heal yourself’, and say, ‘We have heard of all your doings at Capernaum; do the same in your own town.’ I tell you this, no prophet is recognized in his own country. There were many widows in Israel, you may be sure, in Elijah’s time, when for three years and six months the skies never opened, and famine lay hard over the whole country; yet it was to none of those that Elijah was sent, but to a widow at Sarepta in the territory of Sidon. Again, in the time of the prophet Elisha there were many lepers in Israel, and not one of them was healed, but only Naaman, the Syrian.

    Be silent and come out of him.

    I must give the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, for that is what I was sent to do.

    Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.

    Do not be afraid from now on you will be catching men.

    Indeed I will; be clean again.

    But go show yourself to the priest, and make the offering laid down by Moses for your cleansing; that will certify the cure.

    Man, your sins are forgiven you.

    Why do you harbor thoughts like these? Is it easier to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you.’ or to say, ‘Stand up and walk’? But to convince you that the Son of Man has the right on earth to forgive sins – I say to you, stand up, take your bed and, go home.

    Follow me.5:27

    It is not the healthy that need a doctor, but the sick; I have not come to invite virtuous people, but to call sinners to repentance.

    Can you make the bridegroom’s friends fast while the bridegroom is with them? But a time will come: the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and that will be the time for them to fast.

    No one tears a piece from a new cloak to patch an old one; if he does, he will have made a hole in the new cloak, and the patch from the new will not match the old. Nor does anyone put new wine into old wine skins; if he does, the new wine will burst the skins, the wine will be wasted, and the skins ruined. Fresh skins for new wine! And no one after drinking old wine wants new; for he says, ‘The old wine is good.’

    So have you not read what David did when he and his men were hungry? He went into the House of God and took the sacred bread to eat and gave it to his men, though priests alone are allowed to eat it, and no one else. The Son of Man is sovereign over the Sabbath.

    Get up and stand out there.

    I put the question to you: is it permitted to do good or to do evil on the Sabbath, to save life or destroy it? Stretch out your arm.

    "How blest are you who are in need; the kingdom of God is yours.

    How blest are you who now go hungry; your hunger shall be satisfied.

    How blest are you who weep now; you shall laugh.

    How blest you are when men hate you, when they outlaw you and insult you, and ban your very name as infamous, because of the Son of Man. On that day be glad and dance for joy; for assuredly you have a rich reward in heaven; in just the same way did their fathers treat the prophets.

    But alas for you who are rich; you have had your time of happiness.

    Alas for you who are well-fed now; you shall go hungry. Alas for you who laugh now; you shall mourn and weep. Alas for you when all speak well of you; just so did their fathers treat the false prophets.

    But to you who hear me I say:

    Love your enemies; do good to those who hate you; bless those who curse you; pray for those who treat you spitefully. When a man hits you on the cheek, offer him the other cheek too; when a man takes your coat, let him have your shirt as well. Give to everyone who asks you; when a man takes what is yours, do not demand it back. Treat others as you would like them to treat you.

    If you love only those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. Again, if you do good only to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do as much. And what if you lend only where you expect to be repaid, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to each other to be repaid in full. But you must love your enemies and do good; and lend without expecting a return; and you will have a rich reward; you will be sons of the Most High, because he himself is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be compassionate as your Father is compassionate.

    Pass no judgement and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; acquit, and you will be acquitted; give, and gifts will be given you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be poured into your lap; for whatever measure you deal out to others will be dealt to you in return.

    Can one blind man be a guide to another? Will they not both fall into the ditch? A pupil is not superior to his teacher; but everyone, when his training is complete, will reach his teacher’s level.

    Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye, with never a thought for the great plank in your own? How can you say to your brother, ‘My dear brother, let me take the speck out of your eye’, when you are blind to the plank in your own? You hypocrite! First take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s.

    There is no such thing as a good tree producing worthless fruit, nor yet a worthless tree producing good fruit. For each tree is known by its own fruit: you do not gather figs from thistles, and you do not pick grapes from brambles. A good man produces good from the store of good within himself; and an evil man from evil within produces evil. For the words that the mouth utters come from the overflowing of
