we learn to recognize God in the unimportant and easily missed details but also so we might learn to recognize the same things in our own lives. He has called us to embrace his methods and be servants ourselves. The way of the world is to use power and coercion to get things done; the way of the Christian is to use love, gentleness, and service to redeem the race. The world uses the authority of kings and generals to compel justice; the Christian becomes a servant and provides justice.
