"I baptize with water," John replied, "but among you stands one you do not know."
John pointed to the problem of religion - sticking to the traditions, that make the word of God of none effect. Christ who stands amongst us and indeed dwells in us unbeknown to us, longs for us to acknowledge Him and let us be taken by Him or an adventure. Most often we are stuck with the same old religion because we are afraid of the unknown but to live is to be connected with the adventerous life of Christ who is in us.
There is nothing quite like being hooked up to the creator of the universe. It is a thrill ride.
