To human eyes, too much of light Is blinding as the blackest night. And this is so, too, of the mind, In total ignorance it's blind. But more truth than it can absorb Will overwhelm the mental orb. So, lest our vision burn to ashes God shows us truth in bits and flashes, White revelations that the brain Can comprehend and yet stay sane. And we, poor fools, demand truth's noon Who scarce can bear its crescent moon. -- "White Revelations," by Georgia Starbuck Galbraith.
In the words of C.S. Lewis, 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 a level with a 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 away with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.
