So who do you say Christ is?  Consider your answer from the authoritative material at hand.  Be intellectually honest and the slave of no agenda other than the pursuit of the truth.  Before you settle your answer, consider this sage commentary from one modern scholar who began his career as an unbeliever in Christ but came to faith in him through his studies in literature and theology, as well as the challenging conversations he had with close friends.  The Oxford and Cambridge scholar C.S. Lewis wrote the following brief but loud challenge to the material we have covered.

“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.” – C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

A few years back the theaters were filled to capacity to watch a film from Mel Gibson that was entirely in a foreign language and rated “R” for intense graphic content.  Built around the gospels with a little of his own creative license, Gibson’s “The Passion of the Christ” was a runaway blockbuster.  It’s trailer is the last piece of this study, but hopefully the continuation of your own contemplation of “Who Do You Say Christ Is?”
