Do you have more details about the quote "Jesus is to God as we must be to Jesus." by William Barclay?

“We recognize no sovereign but God, and no king but Jesus!”
John Adams (1735–1826) 2nd President of the United States
Originally attributed to the “Rev. Jonas Clarke or one of his company” in “No King But King Jesus” (2001) ( cache at Internet Archive http://web.archive.org/web/20010422194315/www.truthinhistory.org/NoKing.htm) by Charles A. Jennings on his website Truth in History http://www.truthinhistory.org, and subsequently attributed to Adams in books like Is God with America? (2006) by Bob Klingenberg, p. 208, and Silenced in the Schoolhouse (2008) by Michael Williams, p. 5. (The mistake may have come about because John Adams and John Hancock are mentioned in Jennings' account immediately before Clark.) This is supposed to have been said in reply to Major Pitcairn's demand to “Disperse, ye villains, lay down your arms in the name of George the Sovereign King of England.” Clark's own account http://books.google.com/books?id=9S8eAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA6#v=onepage&q&f=false makes no mention or this (or any other) reply, however. “No king but King Jesus” was the slogan of the Fifth Monarchists https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_Monarchists during the Interregnum in England, but there is little evidence for its use during the American Revolution. <br class="br">Misattributed

This attitude is worse than criminal. This kind of faith is faulty in essence. Today the road of the Unification Church members is the road of setting this kind of Christianity straight. <br class="br"> Jesus Whom God Wanted To Find http://www.unification.net/1959/591018.html, 1959-10-18
“Jesus said that God was not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
Miguel de Unamuno (1864–1936) 19th-20th century Spanish writer and philosopher
The Tragic Sense of Life (1913), X : Religion, the Mythology of the Beyond and the Apocatastasis
Context: Jesus said that God was not the God of the dead, but of the living. And the other life is not, in fact, thinkable to us except under the same forms as those of this earthly and transitory life.

“Jesus realized there is no separation from God.”
Jerome David Salinger book Franny and Zooey
Franny and Zooey (1961), Zooey (1957)
Context: I can't see why anybody — unless he was a child, or an angel, or a lucky simpleton like the pilgrim — would even want to say a prayer to a Jesus who was the least bit different from the way he looks and sounds in the New Testament. My God! He's only the most intelligent man in the Bible, that's all! Who isn't he head and shoulders over? Who? Both Testaments are full of pundits, prophets, disciples, favorite sons, Solomons, Isaiahs, Davids, Pauls — but, my God, who besides Jesus really knew which end was up? Nobody. Not Moses. Don't tell me Moses. He was a nice man, and he kept in beautiful touch with his God, and all that — but that's exactly the point. He had to keep in touch. Jesus realized there is no separation from God.
