Love. Forgiveness. Grace. Mercy. None of these things were magical concepts created by the Church. They are DIVINE longings placed in the human heart. Church people, non-church people, Christians, non-Christians, Jews, Greeks, atheists, Muslims all have a deep desire for these things. Recovery programs almost universally tell their people that they must have some 'power' higher than themselves. The Gospel answers the question of WHERE DID THESE LONGINGS come from when Jesus shows up in Bethlehem, raises His hand and says that because WE COULD NOT FIND GOD, He came to find us.
