"I didn't find Jesus. He's been there the whole time"

The quote "I didn't find Jesus. He's existed the whole time" by Billy Corgan recommends that instead of finding Jesus through an unexpected surprise or spiritual awareness, he had been with the speaker the whole time, perhaps hidden in plain sight. This might suggest an individual journey towards a much deeper understanding of faith, where the speaker understands that the mentors of Christ were always present in their life, assisting and inspiring them. It could also recommend a sense of humility, acknowledging that a person's spiritual development is not attained through their own efforts alone, however likewise through the assistance and assistance of a greater power.
