Years
ago a group of British thinkers on comparative religion furiously debated
whether one belief set Christianity apart from other world religions. C. S.
Lewis wandered in late, took a seat and asked, “What’s the rumpus about?” They
told him they were trying to determine Christianity’s unique contribution among
world religions. Without hesitation he replied, “Oh, that’s easy. It’s grace.”
I
read about the above somewhere and jotted it down; I cannot recall where. Known as the greatest defender of the
Christian faith in the last century, C. S. Lewis wrote many books including The
Chronicles of Narnia that have been made into movies and TV series. I love his
books, particularly The Screwtape Letters. It takes the form of letters from a
senior devil to a junior devil. It’s fun to read.
To
Lewis, there’s no question what is it about Christianity that sets it apart
from the rest. It’s grace- God’s favour to undeserving mankind.
What
do you think?
By
the way, what do you think of the photo?
