The Greatest Conspiracy of all Time - Matthew 1:18-25 - Pastor Ken Peters

Matthew 1:18-25; Isaiah 7:14; I. Jesus was a Biological Miracle II. The Holy Spirit is Effective III. Jesus Saves from Sin IV. God is with Us “I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him [that is, Christ]: ‘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–on a level with the 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 up with any patronising nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.” –C.S. Lewis in Mere Christianity John Wesley died with that upon his tongue, and let us live with it upon our hearts. – ‘The best of all is God with us.’” - Charles Spurgeon
