CRUCIAL QUOTATIONS OF WHAT JESUS CHRIST SAID ABOUT HIMSELF
Please note that 'Son of Man' is Jesus' name for himself. It is derived from Daniel 7:13 'In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations, and men of every language worshipped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.'

Extract of the famous words written by Professor C. S. Lewis in his book "Mere Christianity" ps.51-53
“Among the Jews there suddenly turns up a man who goes about talking as if he is God. He claims to forgive sins. He says he has always existed. He says he is coming to judge the world at the end of time. ….In the mouth of any speaker who is not God, these words would imply what I can only regard as a silliness and conceit unrivalled by any other character in history. Yet (and this is the strange, significant thing) even His enemies, when they read the Gospels, do not usually get the impression of silliness and conceit... I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the foolish thing that people often say about him ‘I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept His claim to be God’.
That is the one thing we must not say. 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…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 as a fool ..or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronising nonsense about his being a great human teacher. ..We are faced then with a frightening alternative. This man we are talking about either was (and is) just what he said or else a lunatic, or something worse. Now it seems to me obvious that he was neither a lunatic nor a fiend: and consequently, however, strange or terrifying or unlikely it may seem, I have to accept the view that he was and is God. God has landed on this enemy-occupied world in human form.”
