It is Christianity TO DO GOOD always — even to those who do evil to us.

Note

It is Christianity to love our neighbor as ourself, and to do to all men as we would have them Do to us"The Life of Our Lord" by Charles Dickens is a timeless and profound work that offers readers a unique glimpse into the personal faith and beliefs of one of the most celebrated authors in literary history. Written as a private account for his own children, this book provides a heartfelt and accessible interpretation of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, emphasizing the importance of compassion, kindness, and the universal values of love and forgiveness.

Dickens' innate storytelling prowess shines through, making the narrative engaging and relatable for readers of all backgrounds. Beyond its religious significance, "The Life of Our Lord" imparts enduring lessons on the virtues of empathy and moral goodness, making it a valuable read for individuals of all ages and beliefs, offering insights that resonate far beyond the boundaries of any one faith.

One of my favorite parts of "The Life of Our Lord" by Charles Dickens is when he narrates the story of the Good Samaritan. Dickens' skillful storytelling brings this parable to life with vivid imagery and a compelling portrayal of human compassion transcending societal divisions.

The parable's timeless message of helping those in need, regardless of their background, resonates deeply, and Dickens' rendition of it captures the essence of selflessness and the profound impact of small acts of kindness, making it a truly heartwarming and inspiring moment within the book.
