<br />In his book, <i>What's So Amazing About Grace?</i>, Philip Yancey tells a fascinating story. A congress of world religions was taking place in London. The delegates began a discussion, "What is Christianity's unique contribution to the world of religions?" They talked about many of Christianity's fundamental beliefs--miracles, incarnation, resurrection--but these are present in some form in other religions as well. The discussion went on for some time, but they could not come to a conclusion. Was there <i>anything</i> unique about Christianity?
<br />
<br />After some time, C.S. Lewis walked in. (C.S. Lewis, an Englishman, was one of the greatest Christian thinkers and writers of the 20th century--certainly one of the most-often quoted.) He asked, "What's going on?" and they told him. "What do you think?" they asked. "Why, that's easy," he replied. "It's grace." Then he walked out.
<br />
<br />They realized he was right. It's grace.IMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13042898126000285946noreply@blogger.com
