If we sit beneath the cross and learn our lesson exactly what do we then carry away? Do we walk away as one who has somehow ascended because of contemplation? Are we somehow more righteous or holy because of an additional experience there in those moments?
Humility, forgiveness, the begining of wisdom and understanding.
Absolutely not regarding ascension or being more holy because of an experience. If salvation came while sitting there then we are then holy in the eyes of Christ because of the faith that we resting in but as to the true sense of the word holy, that would be a hell no.
