“I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: Iím 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 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

I’ve heard people say that same remark about Jesus being a good teacher. Sure He was; BUT, He was so much more. Anyone who believes in the Trinity, Knows He is the Son of God. My MIL use to use the example of an egg. The white+the yolk=the egg. They all are One.
I stand firmly on what my Lord has placed in my heart & soul. Pretty good Teacher; wouldn’t you say? ♥
