Whom
Do They Say I Am?
-
C.S. Lewis
"Jesus
of Nazareth, without science and learning,
. . . shed more light on things human and divine,
than all the philosophers and scholars combined;
without the eloquence of school, He spoke words
of life such as were never spoken before, nor
since."
"When
God chose to reveal himself, He did so
through a human body. The tongue that called
forth the dead was a human one. The hand that
touched the leper had dirt under the finger
nails. The feet upon which the woman wept
were calloused and dusty. And His tears came
from a heart as broken as yours and mine ever
has been."
"In
Jesus not only do we have a window to God,
we also have a mirror of ourselves. Human
beings were, after all, created in the image of
God; Jesus reveals what that image should look
like."
"Of
the great religious leaders of the world,
Christ alone claims deity. It really doesn't
matter
what one thinks of Mohammed, Buddha or
Confucius as individuals. Their followers
emphasize their teachings. Not so with Christ,
he made Himself the focal point of His teaching.
The central question that He put to His listeners
was, whom do you say that I am?"
"A
man who is merely a man and said the sort of
things Jesus said would not be a great moral
teacher. He would 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."
~CS
Lewis
Then
Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on
earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples
of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and
of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey
everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you
always, to the very end of the age."
Matthew
28: 18-20
