Talk by Dave Rice

Notes from Talk

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 good 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 with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great moral teacher.  He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to. - C.S. Lewis 'Mere Christianity

Do you believe Jesus was a: lunatic or God

The Story Summary:
God created humans in his image to live in fellowship with Him; yet, because God
is perfect (and we aren’t perfect…since we all have sin…beginning with the first
humans) our sins have separated us from Him. But, God had a plan for his
creation from the very beginning. This plan included God himself (Jesus) coming
into the world, living a perfect life, and making a way for us to be in right
relationship with God. We can’t do anything in our own strength or power to make
our relationship with God right. It is only through the gift of Jesus that we can be
forgiven of our sin, brought into right relationship with God and live the life that God
intended us to live. God gives us all a choice…a choice to accept or deny the free
gift of salvation, relationship and true life that God has offered us.
