The Lordship of Jesus – Oct. 30, 2011
Scripture passage: Matthew 9:32-34 (NLT)
- Jesus is the Lord of all (v. 32-33a)
- Some chose to accept His Lordship (v. 33b)
- Some chose to reject His Lordship (v. 34)
- All must choose: who is Jesus?
- CS Lewis: Liar, Lunatic, or Lord?
- “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 the 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 human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to. … Now it seems to me obvious that He was neither a lunatic nor a fiend: and consequently, however strange or terrifying or unlikely it may seem, I have to accept the view that He was and is God.”
– C.S. Lewis in his book “Mere Christianity“
