I really love this character and for many reasons.
He started out 'without' heart and without love and in the end...
he had heart and he had love.
He may be a 'character' of Charles Dickens, but in real life, there are many Ebeneezer's and Ebie's abound. For they have not love, they have not heart, they have not Jesus.
Were it not for Him, our Lord who IS Love, the meaning and the experience would not be ours.
I'm just sorry that Charles Dickens didn't give Jesus the credit for the change in Ebeneezer's heart. It's implied in the dialog of the story, but implying God is not enough.
Whatever we do, it must be fully established that God is the reason in our doing so that others will know and see who truly lives in us eternally.
