“And how did little Tim behave?” asked Mrs Cratchit.
“As good as gold,” said Bob, “and better. Somehow he gets thoughtful, sitting by himself so much, and thinks the strangest things you ever heard. He told me, coming home, that he hoped the people saw him in the church, because he was a cripple, and it might be pleasant to them to remember upon Christmas Day, who made lame beggars walk, and blind men see.”
― Charles Dickens
“For it is good to be children sometimes, and never better than at Christmas, when its mighty Founder was a child himself.”

Romans 3:23 declares, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Whether we accept it or not, we are Scrooge in this story. But, like Scrooge, it is not the end of our story. Scrooge is transformed by his encounters with the Three Spirits—The Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. He is shown the despairing truth of his current life. And, lastly, he is reminded of eternity and the consequences of death. Upon waking from the final spectral visitation, Scrooge is born anew. The old has passed away.
“I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach!”
- Charles Dickens
The good news of the story is that no one, not even crotchety old Scrooge, is too far gone to be redeemed.
The LORD is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth.
He fulfills the desire of those who fear Him; He also hears their cry and saves them. Psalm 145
