Let us not come with any patronising nonsense.
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 can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit on 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.
