Hebrews 7-10

This jumped out at me:
Hebrews 9: 24
For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

My take:
     Over the last 2,000 years, man has built ever larger and more grand buildings in service of the Church.  Throughout Europe, cathedrals are filled with paintings, sculptures, and stained glass windows.  The building themselves are architectural wonders.  However, Christ is present in the world equally, everywhere.  These man-made structures do not attract Christ, but rather man.  Cathedrals are less and less houses of worship, and more and more tourist destinations.  They're museums.  But if treated as a museum of Christian history, if viewed from the right perspective, they can be inspiring destinations for the faithful.
