Egg or God incarnate?
In the gospel of John we read,
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
He was with God in the beginning.
Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
In him was life, and that life was the light of men....
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. " John 1:1-4,14.
As I said in my previous blog I believe God created the universe and everything in it. That being said this is what I also believe.
I believe that the God that created the universe in the form of His One and Only Son entered the world He created. And he did this in order to show mankind how much He cared for them. How far He would go in human terms to show them the way to heaven.
Jesus is the Son of God the Christ who knew that sin, which is falling short of Gods ideals for our lives separated us from God. That’s why He came to earth.
As the apostle Paul notes,
“You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:6-8.
If Jesus was not the son of God. The Saviour of mankind. Then he must have been at the least delusional. Or as C. S. Lewis put it,
"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 the 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 human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to." C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity.
So what do you think?
Please think about it.
