Bible Note: Hi, afro; If Jesus was just a prohphet, he sure was a lousy one. Prophets are supposed to tell the truth. C. S. Lewis observed that "a man who was merely a man and said the sorts of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher [or prophet]. 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." BTW, it was this passage from "Mere Christianity", quoted in the sermon on one of my rare visits to my wife's church, that ultimately cleared the way for me to come to faith in Christ. If you have not come to that point, I pray you will. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |
