QotD: Mr. Politically Incorrect

Heard this on the radio this evening and thought it warranted QotD status.

"...unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins."

Jesus Christ (John 8:24)

He left no out. Hard to call him a "good teacher" when he makes such audacious claims. If he was false in that claim, he was either demonic or psychotic (C.S. Lewis).

But his life, death, and resurrection leave us face-to-face with that claim with not a micrometer of wiggle-room. We must bow or rebel.

This is why Christians are dying at the hand of Muslims in Pakistan and the world utters nary a peep. This is why biblical authority has been all but squelched in America and why the Christian God has been driven from the public forum.

It's no wonder one of Jesus' biographers declared,

"And this is the condemnation, that the light had some into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil for everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come into the light, lest his deeds should be exposed."

John 3:19-20 (just after "for God so loved the world...")
