I am trying here to prevent anyone from saying the really foolish thing people are saying about Him: “I am ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept His claim to be God.” This is 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 a man who says he’s a poached egg – or else he would be the devil of hell. 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 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 moral teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.
