“Jesus was either a liar, a lunatic or The Lord. Depending on what you decide, will determine how you will live out the rest of your days. If you say: He is a liar, you will lead a life of hypocrisy; double-minded and in-denial. If you say: He is a lunatic, you will be irrational in your behavior, while attempting to anchor yourself with hollow traditions and destructive addictions. If you say: Jesus is Lord, you will experience a life of peace; trusting only Him to save you and your loved ones.” By: ElRoyPoet, 2021
“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 a 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 up with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.” By: C.S. Lewis (Excerpt from “Mere Christianity”)
“I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.” Bible, Philippians 1:20-24
