“Jesus brings justice and healing”
“I came forth from the Father and have come into the world.” (John 16:28)
Christopher Hitchens, one of the most famous atheists of our generation, once debated a Christian on television. I watched a series of these debates, and it was interesting. Hitchens was very fair. He was very philosophical, very scholarly as an atheist. But his Christian opponent kept saying to him, “How do you account for the sense of injustice?”
Hitchens finally admitted that he didn’t understand the innate sense people have of right and wrong. He believed that murder was wrong. He believed it was wrong to steal. He had a moral code, but he couldn’t find a basis for that moral code. He said, “I don’t understand it.”
We know the truth. We have fallen away from God. We live in a fallen world, but we know there is another world. It is God’s world. And what is Christmas? It’s when one world, God’s world, broke through into our world to bring justice and healing. God punched His way through that wall and entered time and history. That’s the incredible reality of Christmas.
