Wasn Jesus just a great moral teacher, but not God in the flesh (as Christians claim)?
While Jesus certainly taught his followers to live good, moral lives, his primary concern was that they be rightly related to God through personal faith in him (Jesus). Such a relationship would be possible only if they accepted Jesus’ incredible claims regarding himself. As has often been pointed out, a close examination of Jesus’ own claims about himself leaves us with only one of three possibilities: 1) Jesus was a liar, 2) Jesus was a lunatic, or 3) Jesus was (and is) the Lord.
