In
CS Lewis’ book Mere Christianity, he makes
an interesting and profoundly logical argument for Christ being the Son of
God. In it he says the we are truthfully
left no other choice but to consider Christ either a lunatic or a demon from
hell … or what He claimed to be, the actual Son of God. Those are the options. Nothing lies in between. To call Him a great moral teacher is an
insult, for He was far more than that.
Great moral teachers don’t heal the sick and raise the dead. Great moral teachers don’t reach out, in full
view of many, and heal an ear that has been cut off by one of His
disciples. No, He was either a crazy
man, demon or deity. I personally opt
for deity because He has come into my soul, filled me with His Spirit and
changed my life for the better more than anything or anyone else ever
could. I have disappointed Him with my
actions at times, but still He loves me.
One could never find a greater friend and savior than Jesus Christ. My life would be empty and my future without
hope were it not for my Lord and Savior.
My eternity is secure because of Him for He paid a debt He didn’t
owe. I had no way of paying that debt
and He picked up the tab. He bore my
shame. He took on my sin. No, this man was no lunatic. He was no demon. He was the Son of God and He shall always and
forever be worthy of praise.
