Oscar Wilde on The Risen Christ

 The Selfish Giant   This children story by Oscar Wilde is wonderful for many reasons. Those who grew up in the seventies and watch TV will remember it was played every Christmas. It the story of a Giant who learns the value of community. he is redeemed when he helps a child, smaller then all the others, and unable to climb a tree. He later discovers that the child was the risen Christ. 

 
It made the meaning of Jesus Christ  accessible to me as a child,  so I am passing it on for those who are involved in Christian Education.

 Do you think that this might be useful to others, beside me? Should I add anything?
