A Miracle of God: Goodness vs. Law
Les Misérables, Bishop Myriel, Law and Grace, and why sinners repent.
“Do you not know that it is the goodness and kindness of God that leads us to repentance?” Romans 2:4.
Dedicated to Matt Banderman and Nate Kinsinger, CFC friends who love sinners.
What follows is a true story.
It happened to me last week.
Before I tell you the story, you must know that I don’t like fictional literature.
I think history is more colorful than fiction, and history brings its readers greater wisdom.
That said, Les Miserable is my favorite fiction book. Victor Hugo, the author of Les Miserable is, hands down, my favorite fiction author.
Through Les Miserable and what recently happened in my life, I wish to show you how those you love - family, friends, and even strangers - are brought to true repentance.
It’s through our kindness and goodness to sinners in their sin, NOT our anger or judgment to sinners for their sin that lead sinners to true repentance.
