"...the hour is coming when everyone who kills you will think he is offering worship to God". (John 16:2)The beloved disciple was prescient when he used the metaphor of homage to describe the response the Gospel of Jesus Christ would awaken. Today, this is particularly true of the reactions provoked within men and women when they hear that their lives are full of purpose. Anyone who wishes to proclaim the truth about the dignity of the human person that underlies and is secured by the Gospel of Jesus Christ had better be prepared to become the occasion for some contemporary worship.
