"As members of the new covenant community we serve as tokens of the new creation, and live out the promise of a thornless, tearless, world. Knowing far, far less than this, Noah got out of the ark as the first step to a new world. Knowing what we know now, ought at least to make our getting out of bed each morning just a little more worthwhile!"

Philip Greenslade, A Passion for God’s Story, p. 142
