"Living in context is worth doing if it reminds us that we are in a battle, indeed in a struggle for survival. It is worth doing if it tunes us into the world's suffering and our part in it as followers of the 'suffering servant'. It is worth doing if it gives us a new sense of urgency. 'The end of all things is near, ' as the Apostle Peter says, 'be serious and discipline yourselves'. Above all it challenges us to be better disciples of Jesus 'in this present age'."
