You must make your choice

Most assuredly, 

I say to you, before Abraham was, 

I AM. 

John 8:58

“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  — or else he would be the Devil. 

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.” 

C.S. Lewis
