In his famous book Mere Christianity, Lewis makes this statement, "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 - on the level with a man who says he is a poached egg - or he would be the devil of hell. You must take your choice. Either this 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." Who is Jesus of Nazareth to you? Your life on this earth and for all of eternity is affected by your answer to this question. All other religions [such as Hinduism, Buddhism. Confucianism, Shintoism, and Islam] were founded by human beings and are based on man-made philosophies, rules and norms for behavior. Take the founders of these religions out of both their disciplines and practices of worship and little would change. But take Jesus Christ out of Christianity, and there would be nothing left. Biblical Christianity is not just a philosophy of life, nor an ethical standard, nor obedience to religious ritual. True Christianity is based on a vital, personal relationship with a Risen Founder who is our living Savior and Lord. Nais mo bang makilala si Jesu-Cristo bilang sariling Tagapagligtas? Maaari itong mangyari sa iyo. Nagnanais si Jesus na magkaroon ng personal at mapagmahal na kaugnayan sa iyo na ginawa na Niya ang lahat ng mga dapat ayusin. Upang malaman kung paano magsisimula sa kaugnayang ito kay Cristo, sundin ito...
