Quote of the day by Jesus Christ: ‘Ask and it will be given…’

Revered by Christians, Jesus is regarded as the Incarnation of God. After his death he came to be called Jesus Christ. According to Britannica, Christ was not originally a name but a title derived from the Greek word christos, which translates the Hebrew term meshiah (Messiah), meaning “the anointed one.” According to the organization The Church of Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ is the Son of God Savior and Redeemer, sent to fulfil a divine mission.

Born to Joseph and Mary in Bethlehem sometime between 6 BCE, Jesus was a Galilean from Nazareth, a village near Sepphoris, one of the two major cities of Galilee (Tiberias was the other), according to Matthew and Luke. According to Britannica, Jesus was born shortly before the death of Herod the Great (Matthew 2; Luke 1:5) in 4 BCE.

His statements and quotes are held in high esteem by Christians. He gave his sermons nearly 2,000 years ago and are considered still relevant for the followers of Christianity.


Quote of the day by Jesus: “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.” (Matthew 7:7-8)

Meaning of the quote: According to Jesus, God invites people to approach him openly and persistently. When people genuinely seek what is good, especially God’s guidance and righteousness, God responds in ways that are right and timely. Doors are opened for those who knock.
