Review of Christian Scripture
Bishop Barron: Who is Jesus and what makes him unique?
New Testament Overview - The Bible Project
Parable of the Life Saving Station:
Richard Rohr - What did Jesus Really teach
The "I Am" sayings of Jesus coupled with the Hard Sayings of Jesus in the Gospels (refer to notes) moves us, in the words of C.S. Lewis, to a trilemma:
“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.”
