“That is why faith, wherever it develops into hope, causes not rest but unrest,
not patience but impatience. It does not calm the unquiet heart, but is
itself this unquiet heart in man. Those who hope in Christ can no longer
put up with reality as it is, but begin to suffer under it, to contradict it.
Peace with God means conflict with the world, for the goad of the promised future
stabs inexorably into the flesh of every unfulfilled present.”
― Jürgen Moltmann, theologian
