Michael Horton from the Foreword to Dual Citizens: Worship and Life between the Already and the Not Yet by Jason J. Stellman (Reformation Trust, 2009):

It is easy to be a master, especially if you are a privileged member of a privileged culture. It is also easy to be a tourist, sauntering from booth to booth at Vanity Fair without any particular destination in mind. However, to be like Abram, called out of his moon-worshiping family in Ur, or like Peter, called to drop his nets and follow Jesus even to Calvary, is the most difficult vocation to embrace. In fact, it is impossible. As Abram, Peter, and all believers ever since have come to realize, becoming a Christian pilgrim is a gift of grace.
