 “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 patronising 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, Mere Christianity, 55-56) Deuteronomy 5:7 Deuteronomy 6:5 Psalm 86:11-12 Isaiah 26:8 Revelation 5:12 Westminster Shorter Catechism Question 1 Q: What is the chief end of man? A: Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever.

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound,   That saved a wretch; like me! I once was lost, but now am found,   Was blind, but now I see. ’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,   And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear   The hour I first believed! When we’ve been there ten thousand years,   Bright shining as the sun, We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise   Than when we first begun.
