The way the truth and the life

The way the truth and the life

John’s gospel records Jesus saying this,

"Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6.

C. S. Lewis said of Jesus,

"I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him (Jesus): 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.

Lewis says it all. It is something every person who is presented with Jesus must decide for themselves.

To my way of thinking if Jesus is not the Son of God, God Incarnate, The Saviour of Mankind, Then both Jesus and His apostles have created the greatest lie in the history of mankind. 

The truth however is that Jesus is all He said He was, and is. A truth that is believed by billions of people around the world today.

So who do you believe Jesus is?

Please think about it.
