We have come to believe in God's love: in these words the Christian can express the fundamental decision of his life. Being Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person (Jesus Christ), which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction. DEUS CARITAS EST 1
Benedict XVI
The Focal Point of the Christian Message: Jesus Christ
![Page 12: Announcement We will have our class on Jan. 18 at the Soc- Science Conference Room 3 and 4.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d2e5503460f94a060bb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Focal Point of the Christian Message: Jesus Christ
I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: "I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't 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.

The Focal Point of the Christian Message: Jesus Christ
He would either be a lunatic-on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg-or 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. CS Lewis, Mere Christianity

Jesus Claims to be God
He was a Fool for He died for it!
Claims were False Claims were True
He knew his claims were False
He made a deliberate Misrepresentation
He was a liar

He was a lunatic
He is Lord
