NOTE: A number of subscribers wondered about yesterday's reference to C. S. Lewis' comment about a "poached egg." I thought it best to repeat the quote from Mere Christianity that gives some background to yesterday's quote. Thanks for your feedback.
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.

Love, love, love, Mere Christianity, by C.S. Lewis. This is probably my favorite thought from the book. Thanks for the reminder, I'll have to dig it out again, always a good read.
