“It shouldn't be difficult, then, to make the transposition at this point into the early Christian vision of Jesus and the Spirit and the way in which the material world is both celebrated and renewed through their work. The Jewish basis for the early Christian patterns of belief and behavior is clear. It is important that God's people are embodied, because God made this world and has no intention of abandoning it. The material of creation is a vessel made to be filled with God's new life and glory, even though the transformation may involve suffering, persecution, and martyrdom.” PeopleWorldWayMayMadeImportantChristianSpiritSufferingJesusBeliefDifficultVisionClearCreationThis WorldMaterialsBehaviorGloryBasesTransformationFilledIntentionPatternsPersecutionNew LifeVesselMartyrdomMaterial WorldChristian Persecution Author:N.

“Explaining belief has alwayas been difficult. How do you explain a love and a logic at the heart of the universe when the world is so out of whack?

“Paul's vision, though, is starting small, with actual communities in which reconciliation and justice has to be practiced - like the rich/poor distinction in the Corinthian church, for instance, or the projected reconciliation between Philemon and Onesimus.
