Sant om Jesus

I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him(Jesus): I`m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teaher, but I don`t accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who is merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lutanic - 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 some thing 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 comewith any patronising nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.
