Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6 If you had gone to Buddha and asked him, Are you the son of Bramah? he would have said, My son, you are still in the value of illusion. If you had gone to Socrates and asked, Are you Zeus? he would have laughed at you. If you had gone to Mohammed and asked, Are you Allah? he would first have rent his clothes and then cut your head off...The idea of a great moral teacher saying what Christ said is out of the question. In my opinion, 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 the whole mind of man. If you think you are a poached egg, when you are looking for a piece of toast to suit you, you may be sane, but if you think you are God, there is no change for you. We may note in passing that He was never regarded as a great moral teacher. He did not produce that effect on any of the people who actually met Him. He produce mainly three effects – Hatred – Terror – Adoration. There was no trace of people expressing mild approval. (C.S. Lewis)
