Howard Thurman on Hope Exceeding - Black Church (Ephesians 3:20-21)

"The disinherited imagine survival; God gives flourishing. We ask for endurance; He gives victory. The oppressed cannot imagine full liberation; God does immeasurably more. The power at work has brought us this far; it will take us further than we dream." — Howard Thurman.

Karl Barth on Christ-Centered Abundance - Christocentric (Ephesians 3:20-21)

"In Christ Jesus our Lord—all abundance is Christological. The power at work is resurrection power; the glory is Christ's glory. We imagine salvation; God gives Christ Himself, immeasurably more. He is the fullness beyond our asking." — Karl Barth. Christocentric: Christ as fullness.
