If Christ is really God's search for man, God, to have effectively 'come down to Earth,' must be discoverable here in this very place and moment.  But the emulation of the 'Jesus of history' obscures the truth.  It concerns itself so much with what happened two thousand years ago that it misses the point, confusing the pointing finger with the truth.  'Why seek ye the living among the dead?  He is not here, but is risen.'  The disciples sought him at the tomb; we seek him in the tradition of the Church or the record of the Bible - or in the future, which is merely the past projected ahead.  They are all tombs, and 'he is not here.
