C.S. Lewis

A glorious quote by C.S. Lewis pertaining to the humanity and reality of Jesus Christ, the God-man.

"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."

from his book, Mere Christianity
