We have come to recognize that concealed in the very fact of Jesus being ineffectual and weak lies the mystery of genuine Christian teaching. The meaning of the resurrection . . . is unthinkable if separated from the fact of his being ineffectual and weak. A person begins to be a follower of Jesus only be accepting the risk of becoming himself one of the powerless people in this visible world.
