We've all seen the bumper sticker and billboards. In some parts of the United States they're inescapable. "Christ[or Jesus] is the answer." I confess that when i see these signs my silent response is something like, "but what is the question?"In fact i have known people who make a game of invention impious questions to which Christ could be the answer. [Such as "whats a six letter word that means 'i just dropped a rock on my foot.')
It is understandable that many non Christians are offended by the slogan; it bespeaks a careless and superficial kind of proselytizing.
The more i study the bible and theology the more "confirmed in my judgment that Jesus Christ is the Question, not the answer." (parenthesis Meeks)

and sometimes when we are busy articulating answers and formulating questions, we completely miss the sheer exhilaration of experiencing a moment in the presence of God.
