How can we find Christ
Serving mostly his egoism, captured and affected by it as he is, man doesn’t want to go to Christ. If someone comes to Christ, he has to change. And that’s something man refuses to accept; man doesn’t want to change.
***
People don’t come to the light, which is Christ; people don’t come to the light, which is the truth of Christ; because if they do, their works will be revealed, which are the works of darkness, not of the light.

The person who will finally find God will experience immense comfort and solace in his heart. Because man is created in such a way, that only when he finds God, does he satisfy his hunger. The holy Augustine writes: “Restless is the soul of man, my Lord, until it finds you”.
