“I am trying here to prevent anyone saying
the really foolish thing that people often say about Him [that is, Christ]:
‘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 up with any patronizing nonsense about
His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not
intend to.”
Jesus is true God and true man.
May God Be Praised.
