The power of paradox, as Michael Card puts it, and seems to revel in it, or at least think in terms of that. So it is. Through Jesus' death, resurrection and ascension this new creation has invaded the old and is beginning even now to make a difference in all the above ways you describe. In anticipation of Jesus' second coming when at last all things are made right and new. But we begin this in him, now. But like you say, in ways that run against the grain of the old world: in the way of Jesus. Yes.

I find myself striving to "work them out" in myself and then realizing that all I can even begin to do is surrender myself to God and Trust that He will lead me in the way of redemption and righteousness. I can not do it out of my own sinful, weak and selfish nature. All of these truths absolutely baffle me.

He does things in a way that confounds everything we can rationally explain. That is why he gets the glory and we sit in awe.
