A.W. Tozer addresses the troubling trend of selectively accepting the teachings of Christ while diminishing His divine nature. He critiques religious leaders who elevate Jesus' ethical teachings but disregard His claims of deity and essential doctrines on sin and judgment. Tozer warns that this selective acceptance undermines the integrity of Christ's message and leads to a lack of certainty in faith. He emphasizes that the same issues faced in the past are resurfacing in contemporary discussions, suggesting a need for a return to a holistic understanding of Christ's teachings. The sermon calls for a recognition of the full authority of Jesus, both in His person and His teachings.
