Brit Hume: Jesus sparks powerful reaction

Yesterday, Brit Hume gave Tiger Woods a piece of advice. Not in arrogance or judgment. But in honest concern and care for the man and his family. And it was this: find Christianity and find the forgiveness and redemption you need.

His comment emblazoned the blogosphere. Brit responds on O'Reilly. Very powerful and clear-cut statements, very Brit'esk at Brit's best.



It's pragmatic. It's honest. It's this: Jesus can take what Satan meant for evil and bring about great redemption. He, and only He, brings beauty out of nothing but ash. That is the message here. What Brit did absolutely squeezed my heart. He spoke freely and openly, offering heartfelt help to Tiger Woods, a man he honestly hopes to see reunited with his family and restored.
And he's scorned for it?

Like Brit said, Jesus always makes a stir. He's powerful. He's so powerful that His very name makes evil tremble. We cannot speak it and expect nothing to happen. And we can't believe in Him and expect the world to love us. He is truth. And truth neither needs to make you feel safe or justified or right. Truth simply is. It cannot be proven wrong, it cannot be tainted. It's whole and complete, a bedrock of authority in itself. It doesn't need you. It doesn't need anything. Maybe that, putting us humans in the place of powerlessness, a place we've fought against since Eve and the apple, is why without God, we cannot accept truth peaceably. It will enrage and infuriate until it's accepted.

Thank you Brit for giving me an example of a loving Christian. You are right. If we are to love as Christ, then what we should want above all else is for everyone to know Him. And everyone includes Tiger Woods.
Sad that showing true compassion is no longer recognized.
