C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity, I am here trying to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: Im ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I dont accept His claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. 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 lunaticon a level with the man who says he is a poached eggor else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. 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 patronising nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.

Responding to the Shepherd (10:31-42) Many people came to him... and believed in Jesus (41-42) Many people came to him... and believed in Jesus (41-42)

Conclusion and Application How do you see Jesus in your life? How do you see Jesus in your life? –Do you really believe He your salvation and giver of eternal life? –Do you really believe He is your true and good shepherd? –Are you really willing to submit to Him and let Him lead you wherever He takes you?
