Truth and Beauty
What do the movies "The Illusionist" and "Life of David Gale" have in common?
They both, when the truth is revealed, cast the heroes in an ugly light, against the intent of the producers.
In contrast, all heresies about Jesus cast Jesus in an ugly light, while only the truth casts Him in a beautiful light. Indeed, He is the Light.
Indeed, of all the religions and philosophies, none can rival the Christianity in terms of beauty of the story.
It is almost as if we were designed to find no other story as beautiful and satisfying as the true story of God taking on flesh to redeem us from our sins and draw us to Himself.
