here's a thought...
"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 patronising nonsense about his being a great human teacher.
He has not left that open to us.
He did not intend to."
-C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity 1952 (emphases added)
i have more to say on this as it relates to the things i am wrestling with right now, but it'll have to wait. hopefully not long but if my history as a blogger is any indication, don't hold your breath.
but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
