“I am trying here to prevent anyone from 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 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 be either 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.” C. S. Lewis | |||||

2. He was wrong and didn't know it
3. He was right
The Ultimate Question:
Jesus asked, “Who do you say I am?”
