It is exceedingly hard to abandon the mental structure upon which one has built their life and worldview. Change is a process and takes time as one wrestles with the issues. Even if one wants to move along, there are vestiges of the prior that will always linger. It is a journey of self discovery as much as it is a journey of knowledge discovery.
The cross is where history and life, legend and reality, time and eternity, intersect. The various moral and theological and sociological disputes of the day, however progressively resolved with ecclesiastical connivance, have nothing to say to a very real spiritual hunger that exists deep within the soul of man. There is no comfort in the thought that God is dead, or that mankind has come of age...the only means of satisfying that hunger remains the bread of life that Jesus offered.
