Finished reading a great book today. Toward the end of the book, the main character is discussing the book David Copperfield with his daughter. The daughter quotes the first line of the book:
"Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show."
That is very clearly an un-Christian worldview. The believer's life has a hero, and it's Christ the Lord. That is the whole of the Gospel -- that our own life has been delivered by another. The rest of our life after that moment of deliverance should show not us, but the One who rescued us. Our biographical novel -- if we have any success as a disciple of Christ -- should be filled with descriptions of how once we were lost, but now? Now so found.
