The rain falls on the just

And on the unjust fella;

But mainly upon the just,

Because the unjust has the just’s umbrella.

Cultural acts…are social events like any other; they are as public as marriage and as observable as agriculture. They are not, however, the same thing; or, more precisely, the symbolic dimension of social events is, like the psychological, itself theoretically abstractable from these events as empirical totalities. There is still, to paraphrase a remark of Kenneth Burke’s, a difference between building a house and drawing up a plan for building a house, and reading a poem about having children by marriage is not quite the same thing as having children by marriage. Even though the building of the house may proceed under the guidance of the plan or – a less likely occurence – the having of children may be motivated by a reading of the poem, there is something to be said for not confusing our traffic with symbols with our traffic with objects or human beings, for these latter are not in themselves symbols, however often they may function as such.

As evangelical Christians, it is important that we remember that Christ is both a symbol and a person. He stands for our redemption, our sanctification, and our future hope of heaven; these are all abstractions for which He is the symbol. But he also was a real person who died on a cross.
