This Christian Life

Who is Jesus?

When I went to Turkey and learned more about the New Testament times, I realized Jesus had to have lived because of the way those people lived their lives. Not that I didn’t believe before, but it just became so clear to me that he did indeed live. Once it was so obvious to me that he lived, they type of things he said, and the impact he made, there was no doubt in my mind that he had to be the son of God.

In his famous book Mere Christianity, Lewis makes this statement, “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 a man who says he is a poached egg—or he would be the devil of hell. You must take your choice. Either this was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool 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.”
