Michael Wyschogrod (called "one of the most interesting Jewish theologians of recent decades" by Fr. R. J. Neuhaus in First Things, number 168, 12/06, from which I am quoting) reports,
"When Barth said to me that Jews have only the promise, but not the fulfillment, I replied that a promise from God is a sure thing and therefore, if we have the promise, we just about have the fulfillment."Sometimes I think the whole work of the Christian is to learn to "cast all thy care on Him that careth for thee," or, as I like to say, to learn not to work.
