True theology is an actual determination and claiming of man by the acting God.
Whether the angels play only Bach praising God, I am not quite sure.
'joy' in Phillippians is a defiant 'Nevertheless!' that Paul sets like a full stop against the Philippians' anxiety.
He [Jesus Christ] is the Master of all as the Servant of all.
The theologian who labours without joy is not a theologian at all.
There will be no song on our lips if there be no anguish in our hearts.
