Rebecca's experince at L'abri
'So why Christianity and not some other religion?' I furthered. I already knew my answer, but I felt it worth asking. Dawn answered, 'Christianity reflects the reality of this world, the reality of the brokenness of this world. It gives us answers that no other religion can, answers that deal with our brokenness.' And I added, 'In other words, as John Stott says,' only the figure of Jesus deals with our sin.'
I added...
When people say that Christianity is a kind of evasion from reality, an “opium”, the weakness of those unable to face life, remember what you’ve just written about Christianity being a true reflection of the reality of this world, and especially the reality of our brokenness, and our imperfection as humans beings. It deals with our sinful nature, and also with our desire for goodness, and our value, because Christianity understands humanity as glorious God-like creation yet tragically fallen, with precise balance.
