Christ’s future is not one single point in an absolute remoteness for which we are to wait – a mere coming event. This is hardly thinkable, for we would probably all go to sleep over it. Christ’s future is now, or it is not at all. It must become an experience of every individual believer and for every congregation. God’s deed through Jesus Christ must be your experience, today and tomorrow and every day. ~Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt, Action in Waiting
