"Regardless of what one may personally think or believe about him, Jesus of Nazareth has been the dominant figure in the history of Western culture for almost twenty centuries.... it is from his birth that most of the human race dates its calendars, it is by his name that millions curse and in his name that millions pray."

(Jaroslav Pelikan)

 

Jesus

Who is He?

Can we know?

Why does it matter?

 

 

What did Jesus

“I am the resurrection and the life"

“I am the bread from heaven”

 “I am the light of the world”

 “Come to me ... and you will find rest for your souls”

 “[I] came not to be served but to serve and to give [my] life a ransom for many”

 

 

 “Your sins

are

forgiven"

 

"I am

the

Messiah"

 

"Follow

Me”

 

say about Himself? 

 “'Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into his glory?' And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets he expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.”

 “I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father but through me”

 “I and my Father are one”



"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 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."

(C.S. Lewis, Professor of English Literature (Oxford and Cambridge); author of the Chronicles of Narnia)
