Paul stood in the midst of Areopagus and said, "Men of Athens, I observe that you are very religious in all respects. For while I was passing through and examining the objects of your worship, I found an alter with the inscription, 'TO AN UNKNOWN GOD'. Therefore what you worship in ignorance, this I proclaim to you. Acts 17:22-23
In one quick thought, the apostle Paul built a bridge from God, through intellectualism, paganism, idolatry, superstition, and religious to Jesus. Wow, he used wall material for bridge material. Once a man bought a load of wood and hired a carpenter to build a wall next to a stream on the edge of his property. He wanted to block his view of a neighbor he hated. The wise carpenter used the wall wood to build a wooden bridge over the stream. The neighbor was touched and soon walked over the bridge to make things right, and restored their friendship. "If you build a wall, your world is small, but a bridge of love will conquer all."
