Some of us glory in what we have accomplished while others despair at how we have failed. But like the newly-arrived immigrants, we have little time to stand and ponder. But we cannot go back. We must go on to perfection. And even if we could go back, their vision would not be ours.
Vision is a personal matter.
Some of us glorify the Anabaptist movement. The Anabaptists themselves did not. They saw themselves as nothing before a glorious God. Some of us treat our historic faith and the traditions that come with it like sacred heirlooms. They did not.
