Is He or Isn’t he?

That is the question, isn’t it? Is Jesus the Son of God… God? Or isn’t he? C. S. Lewis posed the question this way, “Liar, lunatic or Lord?” My question is short and to the point. If Jesus isn’t God, then we’ve been duped. We are fools. We were lied to, unwitting numbskulls who should be mocked and ridiculed not unlike what is taking place around the world at this moment in time as the world moves away from God.

Years before my spiritual world was rocked and I had my life changing experience that led me back to the fullness and beauty of the Catholic Church, I realized that I didn’t know or like who I was.
