It is to accept Jesus after all. Everything then fits into its proper place. The key has been found to solve the mighty riddle. The supernatural Jesus is thus the key to a right understanding of early Christian history. But He is also the key to far more than that.
Mankind stands in the presence of more riddles than the riddle of New Testament times.
To all those riddles Jesus, as the New Testament presents Him, provides the key. He is the key not to some things but to everything. Very comprehensive, very wonderfully cumulative, very profound and very compelling is the evidence for the reality of the supernatural Christ. But if we are convinced by that evidence, we must take the consequences. If we are convinced that Jesus is what the New Testament says He is, then the word of Jesus becomes for us law.
