What will you do with Him? Mere Christianity


Sunday we saw Pilate ask the most important question of his life:
"What shall I do with Jesus?" (Matthew 27:22)

How have you answered that question?

A. Ignore Him
B. Deny Him
C. Acknowledge Him , but not follow Him
D. Surrender to Him and live for Him

C.S. Lewis wrote in Mere Christianity:
"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 a man who says he is a poached egg - or he would be the devil of hell. You must take your choice. Either this was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool 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."

Your answer to the question "What shall I do with Jesus?" affects how you think about your sin, how you treat the people around you, how you raise your kids, how you spend your money...and where you spend eternity.

I'd say it's a pretty important question. I'm going to spend my life helping people answer it well. Want to join me?
