Jesus Testifies about Himself

"When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” 
The Pharisees challenged him, “Here you are, appearing as your own witness; your testimony is not valid.” 
Jesus answered, “Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I am going. But you have no idea where I come from or where I am going.  
You judge by human standards; I pass judgment on no one.  
But if I do judge, my decisions are right, because I am not alone. I stand with the Father, who sent me.  
In your own Law it is written that the testimony of two men is valid.  
I am one who testifies for myself; my other witness is the Father, who sent me.” 
Then they asked him, “Where is your father?” “You do not know me or my Father,” Jesus replied. “If you knew me, you would know my Father also.” 
                                                                            John 8:12-19 
Jesus never shied away from saying who he was. He makes it clear that his father is God.
If we think about this testimony logically it is either one of the most outrageous claims in human history. The claims of a lunatic or the truth.
For Jesus to claim he was the Son of God in his day was to commit sacrilege, blasphemy,  a capital offence in the eyes of the Jewish religious leaders of his day.
Yet Jesus did not deny that he was the Son of God.
He made it clear when he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” 
He is claiming to be God incarnate.
This claim is what we as individuals must consider.
Was Jesus a lunatic, mentally disturbed person who created what has to be the greatest lie in human history or is he who he says he is. The one and only Son of God.
Think about it.
