More From Keanu Reeves

In the cross is salvation; in the cross is life; in the cross is protection against our enemies; in the cross is infusion of heavenly sweetness; in the cross is strength of mind; in the cross is joy of spirit; in the cross is excellence of virtue; in the cross is perfection of holiness. there is no salvation of soul, nor hope of eternal life, save in the cross.

Moving ourselves to the background and others to the foreground is evidence that the (spiritual) search is achieving its purpose.
