We need to learn to live in the tension between eschatological hope and persevering in the present, between the Kingdom breaking through into the present and the understanding that what we see now is only in part. When we seek to live missionally and call others to do so, we must be ever honest with this dynamic. We must live in grace in the present reality of our imperfect pursuit of Christ, not as compromise, but as humility.
