"What Are We to Make of Jesus Christ?"

Lewis quickly turns the question round and asks, "but what is He to make of us?"

The story of Jesus Christ is definitely out there, if you haven't grown up with the story. A man who claimed to be God? A man who said that He forgave sins? Lewis phrases it well when, in reference to Christ's teachings, he says, "the only person who can say that sort of thing is either God or a complete lunatic suffering from that form of delusion which undermines that whole mind of man." 

Then, there's the concept of the resurrection, that man can rise from the dead and live again.

Here's the thing though. I happen to believe in it. In fact, I know that it is true. I believe that Jesus Christ wasn't crazy, He was God. He was the Son of God." As Lewis says, you must accept or reject the story.

Lewis paraphrases some of the words that the Savior said at the end, that He is the way, the truth and the life, not that you could find it through His teachings, but He was it. He talks about giving all to know God, to sacrifice. My favorite though, where I'll actually pull out the actual scripture, is this, from John 16:33:

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Going back to Lewis' original question, what is Christ to make of me? Do I show through my actions that I am Christian? If so, am I a good one? Christ has given me all to be who I want to be. Because He has overcome the world, I can, if I so choose, be exactly who He wants me to be, and I plan on doing that.
