Selwyn continues to discuss the importance of Jesus the person – what He taught, and what He did, are just minor details compared to who He was/is - as a Person. It is, who He is, that makes all the other aspects of His life important. If Jesus was just a very nice human being, a good teacher of ethics, then His death on the cross saved no one – and we would be the greatest fools in following Him!
Therefore, verse 12Â from Chapter 4 in Acts, is a challenge to most people: ” … there is NO other name under heaven … by which we must be saved.”
The following (a quote – of the words of Archbishop William Temple) found in today’s study, captures this theme well: “The supreme revelation is given in the life and Person of Jesus. The revelation is not His teaching or His acts but Himself. Christianity is not a dedication to a system of rules or of thought, but a dedication to a Person. This is unique among the religions of the world.”
