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 with any
patronising nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left
that open to us. He did not intend to.

about two people right there in the moment, y'know, it's, if he wants to see
me again he can call and if not, that's fine too....
