  at Jesus the man--what we think we saw--and Im

• By simply looking at the man, and by looking at
  it in the context of the first century, are you
  undermining the very notion that he is the Son of

Who is Jesus?

•   Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming
  and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of
  the Son of God, and those who hear will
  live.  For just as the Father has life in
  Himself, even so He gave to the Son also to have
  life in Himself and He gave Him authority to
  execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.

Who is Jesus?

• I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the
  really foolish thing that people often say about
  Him Im ready to accept Jesus as a great moral
  teacher, but I dont accept His claim to be God.
  That is one thing we must not say. A man who was
  merely a man and said the sort of thing 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 can spit at Him and kill him as a demon or
  you can fall at his feet and call Him Lord and
  God.
• C.S. Lewis
