I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really
foolish thing that people often say about Him: I’m ready to accept Jesus as a
great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God. That is the one
thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things
Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic on
the level with the man who says he is a poached egg or else he would be the
Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son
of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool,
you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and
call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about
his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not
intend to.
C. S. Lewis
What do you choose?
Is Jesus a man who calls
himself a doorknob?
Is he a demon from Hell?
Or is He the Son of God?
