THE PERSON OF GOD
"Once we understand Jesus in his own words and measure his claims and promises against our deepest needs, we will be surprised at just how personal and magnificent he really is -- the way and the truth and the life (John 14:6) -- rather than being merely the focus of deviously rendered fictitious story lines.
"C. S. Lewis's conversion story, Surprised by Joy, describes this precisely. Lewis says that his greatest realization after he had finally recognized who Jesus is and what he offers to every human heart was that he had not come to a place or accepted a belief; he had come to a person -- and that person is the very person of God.
"When we are close enough to the Jesus of history that we can look at history from his perspective, we actually see how mighty and strong he is."
~Ravi Zacharias, from his book Has Christianity Failed You?
