The Dumas story of Monte Christo is not a perfect analogy of Christian life, but it is a good one in many respects. I see injustice and long-suffering, patient endurance against the world system, then brokenness tempered with hope, God’s ultimate hand of intervention, and in this case, the scales of true justice finally becoming balanced which is then quickly followed by righteousness and victory over our foes. For the Christian, there is also the “happy ever after”of an eternity with the Lord… BM always writes great stuff!
