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 a man who says he is a poached egg or
he would be the devil of hell. You must take your
choice. Either this was, and is, the Son of God
or else a madman or something worse. You can shut
Him up for a fool or you can fall at His feet and
call Him Lord and God. C. S. Lewis
