At the same time, we should be a prefiguring of the future of Jesus Christ
on earth. We should not be so much concerned with ourselves; nor should we
struggle so hard, as though we were the ones to bring the good to its
perfection on earth. We cannot do that. That can be done only by the Lord
Jesus, who has come the first time and is coming again a second time.
