그리스도의 초림과 재림, 초월성과 내재성, 순진한 이상주의와 냉혹한 현실주의 사이에서 니버는 ‘불가능한 가능성’을 견지했다. 하여 혹자는 그의 사상을 이상적 현실주의, 현실적 이상주의라 칭한다.

“David learnt through this event that serving God according to God’s word must come before passion and earnestness.”

Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh. Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you and revile you and spurn your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man! Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for so their fathers did to the prophets. But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. Woe to you who are full now, for you shall be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep. Woe to you, when all people speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets. But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. To one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic either. Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back. And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them. If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount. But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful. Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.

Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit? A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye’, when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother’s eye. For no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit, for each tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush. The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks. Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord’, and not do what I tell you? Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. But the one who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the stream broke against it, immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.

Q. 이번에 가장 어려웠던 항로는.

A. “지난 2월2일 통과한 케이프 혼이다. 케이프혼 해역은 남극해 구간으로 추운 날씨에 연중 거센 바람과 높은 파도로 인해 바다의 에베레스트, 선원들의 무덤으로 불린다. 이 지역을 통과한 이들에게는 ‘케이프호너’이라는 명예의 호칭이 주어진다. 최대풍속 50노트(kn)의 돌풍과 파고 7m의 높은 파도와 싸워야 했다. 거대한 파도가 덮쳐 요트가 두 번 뒤집어졌다. 요트 밑바닥에 매달려 균형을 잡아주고 넘어지지 않도록 하는 장치(발라스트 킬)가 없었다면 배는 침몰하고 말았을 것이다.”

Q. 언제가 가장 위험했나.

A. “광란의 위도, 울부짖는 50도, 비명의 60도라는 별명이 붙은 남극해다. 떠내려 오는 유빙(流氷)이 지뢰처럼 깔려 있다. 포틀랜드 제도에 있는 사우스조지아섬 인근을 지날 때는 폭 30m 정도의 집채만 한 빙하가 옆으로 지나가는 것을 발견했다. 작은 빙하라도 한번 부딪치면 끝장이다. 순식간 죽음에 대한 공포가 밀려왔다. 빙하를 피하느라 며칠 동안 뜬 눈으로 밤을 샜다.”

Q. 바람이 잠잠해야 좋은 것인가.

A. “반대다. 바람이 부는 날엔 앞으로 속도감 있게 전진할 수 있어서 좋다. 오히려 잠잠한 날이 어렵다. 이런 날엔 빨래도 하고 목욕도 한다. 폭풍 못지않게 무서운 것이 적도 인근의 무풍(無風)지대다. 바람에만 의지해 항해하는 배에 무풍지대는 지옥이다. 적게는 1~2시간, 많게는 17시간 동안 바람 한 점 없어 닻을 내리고 뙤약볕 아래서 무작정 기다려야만 한다.”
