The following quote was read from the pulpit last Sunday and I thought, “YES! What he said!”
“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. – CS Lewis “Mere Christianity”
Call me crazy if you want to– at least I’ll be in good company. Happy Easter.
Yes! Our pastor has done a sermon based on this quote from C.S. Lewis and it is right on!!! Call me crazy too but I fall at His feet and say “Thank you Lord!!!”
I figure why try to say something myself if C.S. Lewis already said it!
