In order to retain a commitment to Jesus's new messianic community with its countercultural values, Christians must accept the fact that the faithful church will often—perhaps always—be a minority community in a broken world.

the first task of Christians is to live now the message and ethics of Jesus's new messianic kingdom. When surrounding society says we should abandon Jesus's teaching for the sake of short-term effectiveness, we must refuse—precisely because we know that the risen Jesus is now Lord of history and that his kingdom will finally prevail. If Jesus is truly Lord and Messiah, then in the long run his way will also be most effective.42

Jesus was not a theologian. He was God who told stories.

The figure in the icon is not meant to represent literally what Peter or John or any of the apostles looked like, or what Mary looked like, nor the child, Jesus. But, the orthodox painter feels, Jesus of Nazareth did not walk around Galilee faceless.

Stories, no matter how simple, can be vehicles of truth; can be, in fact, icons.
