42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on my own; God sent me. 43 Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say.

John 8:42-43

Why is what the Word of God says not clear enough? Simple and powerful!

This is a quote my wife came accross in her colloge class. She is doing a study of the NT.

“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 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. But let us not come

with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great moral

teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.”

Thanks for the verse - that passage is a classic C.S. Lewis piece. Thanks.
 
C.S. Lewis was one of the best christian authors of the 20th century, thank you for using this quote, it really drives the point home.
