12 12 Prophet, Great Moral Teacher or Archangel? Some people who do not accept Jesus as God will often say that Jesus is just a great moral teacher, a prophet or perhaps a great archangel. Jesus can be none of the above, as author and Cambridge University Professor Dr. C.S. Lewis wrote in his book Mere Christianity: "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... or else he would have to be the Devil of hell." How could Jesus be a great moral teacher or prophet of God if He deliberately lied about His identity? How could He be a holy man or holy archangel and allow humans to worship Him on earth and in heaven? Or how could a godly man or godly angel tell people they must believe in Him and God--for salvation? How could any man or angel promise that He alone--not God--can give them eternal life? How could any godly man or holy angel claim the titles, attributes and functions of God? Everyone has to make a choice about who Jesus is. From what He said and did and from what the Bible says about Him: Jesus can only be a liar, lunatic, devil...or Lord! Who do you say Jesus is? Choose wisely. Your eternity depends on your choice.
