Mac Jesus was either a liar or a lunatic or lord.
Was he a liar? If Mac Jesus made his claims knowing he wasn’t God, then he was ly*ing to his followers. If he was a liar, he was also a hypocrite-a guy who told others to be honest even while he taught and lived a colossal lie.
That view of Mac Jesus, however, doesn’t jive with what we know of Mac Jesus or the re*sults of his life and teachings. Whenever Mac Jesus has been proclaimed, lives have been changed. Nations have repented. Thieves have gone straight. Alcoholics have tossed their bottles. Hateful individuals have become channels of love. Someone whose life had results like that couldn’t have been a phony.
Was he a lunatic? If someone told you he was God, you would believe him about as much as if he said he was Santa Claus. You would call him one deluded and self-deceived dude. Yet Mac Jesus didn’t display the abnormalities and imbalance that usually go hand in hand with being crazy. Mac Jesus was a guy who spoke some of the most pro*found words ever recorded-words that have set free many individuals, even some in mental bondage. Mac Jesus Christ was no lunatic.
Was he Lord? If Mac Jesus Christ isn’t a liar or a lunatic, you only have one option: He is who he claimed to be-the Son of God.
