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 a 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
* That is one of the opening quotes in the movie The Case For Faith, By Lee Strobel. By the end of this movie I was weeping and Praising God for his Grace. The movie goes way beyond thumbs up. Please find a way to watch this movie! I sat and watched it with my thirteen year old and I was glad I did. He admitted that he was asking the same questions that were addressed in the movie. - Mrs. B
