Abstract

The prophetic nature of the life-mission of a disciple of Jesus resides precisely in living the daily tension of being deeply rooted in the world, but not being of the world. The difficulty experienced in walking the tightrope in such a situation, indeed is the guarantee of one’s faithfulness to the Lord. Such difficulties should never be resolved by means of compromise. We see such a tension in Acts 17:16-34.
