Transfiguration Sunday

C.S. Lewis poingantly wrote, in his work Mere Christianity, “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 ... 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 ... 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.”

― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

 Jesus left us little room to believe He is a mere man, and I believe we want to be confident about Jesus and not unsure. But there is a problem, and it may be so obvious that you overlook it. It’s doubt. Doubt is a subtle, creeping thing. It does not come on all at once.
