THE ALTAR TO
THE UNKNOWN GOD
St. Paul walked around Athens
checking out all the Athenian gods -
till he found an
altar “To the Unknown God.”
He said to himself, “Wow! Now I have
a sermon to the Athenians.”
There are no Letters to the Athenians.
They listened to his long speech. A
few joined him - but the majority said
the same old - same old - put off,
“We’ll hear you again about all this.”[1]
Every one of us in every age
has to walk past our outside gods
and then walk within to our inner
room where we can find
“My Lord and my God.” [2]
[1] Acts 17: 16-34
[2] Matthew 6: 5-15
