Mere Christianity

In his sermon on Sunday Morning Dr. Land quoted from and recommended the book Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis. I read it several years ago and have found it helpful to consult a few times since then.

Here is the quote that Dr. Land shared:


"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 that we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the things that Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic--on a level with the man who says that 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."
