We all have trouble perceiving things outside the dimensions of this world. We want to attach our ideas to something concrete to help us ground it in reality. As a result, there is a huge danger of us putting our focus more on the men and women that preach Christ than Christ Himself.
None of us have ever actually seen Christ in physical form, but we see other people all of the time. When we connect with another believer or enjoy listening to a particular preacher, that helps us ground our faith in the reality of this world. But we must be careful not to cross the line into actually putting our faith in those men and women. Every Christian is called to plant and water the seeds of faith in others, but only God can actually cause growth.
