Looking for Christ in all the wrong places...

by Wonton Tom

I come from the Judeo-Christian faith tradition. One of my favorite stories from the Hebrew scriptures is that of the prophet Elijah hiding out in a cave, afraid for his life, on Mount Horeb:

The LORD said, "Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD; for the LORD is about to pass by."

Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. And after the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. And after the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave.
I Kings 19:11-13a
