Christian brotherhood is not an ideal which we must realize; it is rather a reality created by God in Christ in which we may participate.

Before Jesus leads His disciples into suffering, humiliation, disgrace, and disdain, He summons them and shows Himself to them as the Lord in God's glory.

It is only by living completely in this world that one learns to have faith.

We must learn to regard people less in light of what they do or omit to do, and more in the light of what they suffer.

If you reject God's commanding word, you will not receive God's gracious word.

The Christian life is participation in the encounter of Christ with the world.

Help must come from the outside, and it has come and comes daily and answers in the Word of Jesus Christ.
