One of the images on my study wall – a tapestry of the word Shalom based on Isaiah 35
"In Christian worship declaring that Jesus is Lord creates a world before us.
The world and the church do not make it look as if Jesus is Lord;
world and church do not live in light of this fact.
Yet we know that Jesus is Lord,
and proclaiming this reality builds up our capacity to to keep believing it
even though empirical evidence imperils this conviction,
and also builds up our capacity to live on the basis of the statement's truth."
(John Goldingay, Key Questions About Biblical Interpretation, (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2014), 359.
