Day 76 Who is Jesus?

Day 76 and the first night of another Alpha Course, which is the 16th Alpha Course to date.
I love teaching the Alpha Course, and I love this first talk.
In some ways this is strange. In fact, one guy tonight talked to me about this.
I am centrally a postmodern in my thinking. Linear, logical and evidential teaching is not how my mind thinks. It doesn't mean I can't think this way, but its not how it best operates. In fact, some of he writers I admire would question the effectiveness of an Alpha type apologetic.
But, 16 times in doing this, and I have as much energy for this round of talks as earlier.
Every time, I get energized (inspired) to give what are clearly 'modern' style talks.

Tonight "Who Is Jesus?"

CS Lewis nails it. You can't believe Jesus was a good man or even a good teacher but not God - Jesus did not leave this route open to us. In saying he was a good teacher you are saying that the things he said and taught were good. But he taught he was more than a man. Therefore, you have to say he was/is who he said he was, or else he was a lunatic, mad man or an evil imposter.

It's such a cutting talk.
It forces you off of a fence, or to really re-examine what you think about Jesus.

It might be linear, it might be evidential - but it forces the most postmodern of seekers to take a real serious look at who He is.

As for me, my Alpha talk #1 2010 pushed me yet again to remain loyal and steadfast in my belief that Jesus Christ truly is God Incarnate. Day 76 was a day of worship.
