Responsibility and Freedom, a Tidbit

Here's a little tidbit I wrote a bit ago.  I'm not sure if it's finished, but there's an elegance to it that I want to share.
-

The Christian holds a unique responsibility.  For, while being concerned with the struggle and hardship of those around us, in Christ we become less and less concerned with our own.  I do not mean that we ignore pain and trials, but instead that, in light of a greater covenant and a greater kingdom, the brokenness and weariness of hardship dwindles.  And, with the hope that we have, that we see, our darkness has less long-term effect.  While we feed the five thousand, we fast, and know that we do not live by bread alone.  While we raise our friends from the dead, we go the grave willingly, peacefully.  We carry an easy load and yet share in the burdens of others.  We, most free and chosen, press forward into struggle and work.  In this our purpose and calling is realized.  We find that responsibility and freedom, which we had once pitted against each other, now form equal parts of a greater good, a greater calling.  That of love, received and given.  And in this way we conform further into the image of Christ, a savior made perfect through sufferring  (Hebrews 2:10).
