We are not called to be right; we are called to be his. We are not called to be scholars; we are called to be students. We are not called to explain the Christ; we are called to follow the Christ. We are not called to build walls that keep his friends apart from each other; we are called to build the kingdom together.

It may turn out to be easier to get through the eye of a needle, one might say, but it is a journey that we must attempt. The kingdom is on the other side.
