The peace of Christmas depends on this freedom of obedience. The ground of obedience bears peace. Mary believed. She obeyed. The Spirit came. Christ was born. Mary listened to God’s word and treasured it in her heart.

- Eberhard ArnoldChrist’s people are sent out to work among humanity, to have an effect in the world, just as Jesus himself did. They must represent the message of the future kingdom, and their task and their actions cannot be different from Christ’s: to bring help and deliverance for soul and body, to heal and help in all sufferings and torments.

The wise men of the East had heard the Word speaking within them and had seen it shining above them; and so they came to the Christ who, although he was still to be born, was already born in their hearts.

Jesus experienced the utmost humiliation. From the feed-trough and the manger at his birth to his death on the cross. May we return again to the only thing that counts: to the way of Jesus Christ who was humiliated, tried, and crucified with criminals for our sake. We want to ask God to let us become like Jesus and, like him, to revere the childlike spirit of love and humility.
