“Unfulfilled and
fulfilled promise are related to each other,
as are dawn and
sunrise.
Both
are promise
and in fact
the same promise.
If anywhere at all,
then it is precisely in the light of the coming of Christ
that faith has become
Advent faith,
the expectation of
future revelation.
But faith knows for
whom and for what
it is waiting.
It is fulfilled faith
because it lays hold
on the fulfilled promise.”
~ Karl Barth
