Charles Schultz was a follower of Jesus Christ. The moral code that underlies the world of Peanuts comes out of the Scriptures. To me, Schultz' cartoons were always insightful and funny. They gave us insights into ourselves and, more important, into truth. They were a witness to the reality of the biblical view of life and the world.
Peanuts is no substitute for the Bible, of course.
We need the truth of the Scriptures much more than we need Charlie Brown. Even so, hats off to a man who found a way to communicate it to the world without apology. Happiness is a warm relationship with Christ.
