God’s call is as far above normal life, as spiritual life is above biological life. Certainly there is a resemblance, as between a photo and a place, or a statue and a man. But someone rising to the call and passing from biological life to the spiritual life “would have gone through as big a change as a statue which changed from being a carved stone to being a real man. And that is precisely what Christianity is about. This world is a great sculptor’s shop. We are the statues and there is a rumor going round the shop that some of us are some day going to come to life.” ~ Os Guiness, from The Call, also quoting C.S. Lewis
