Lord, Liar, Or Lunatic

June 11, 2017

When we speak about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, we’re not just talking about some man who may enter history. We’re talking about God Himself! And you must make up your mind about Jesus.

You can’t just tip your hat to Jesus. You can’t just talk of Jesus as the humble Galilean or the peasant prophet. No, as C. S. Lewis once said, “Jesus is Lord, He is liar, or He is lunatic.”

Either Jesus is the Lord. Or He is a liar who pretended to be the Son of God. Or worse than that, He is a lunatic who thought He was Lord and wasn’t. Which is He?

John 5:25-27 says, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. For as the Father hath life in Himself; so hath He given to the Son to have life in Himself; And hath given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of man.”
