I had this insight while watching Disney’s newest version of A Christmas Carol - the one where Jim Carrey plays Ebenezer Scrooge (along with other roles)... A lot of people’s vision of the Christian life looks like Scrooge on Christmas Eve. It’s a small life based on a small God who is a miserly bookkeeper. A life of staunch conventionality. One that clutches the wallet tightly and peers through squinted eyes at the world that it judges so harshly. It is a life of defense against “wrong behavior” and condemnation towards the so-called heathens who ruin everything. Who want nothing more than to take what you’ve worked so hard to earn...
Jonas, may you and your family have a Happy and Blessed New Year!
Happy New Year to you and your fam. :)
A very Happy New Year ahead to you and yours, Jonas.
