Consider this, from C.S. Lewis

I’ve often referred to this quote by C.S. Lewis, taken from one of my favorite books of all time,Mere Christianity.  Consider this:

I am trying here to prevent
anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him:
‘I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept
His claim to be God.’ That is the one thing we must not say. 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
the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil
of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the
Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up
for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; 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. He did not intend to.
