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.

- Eberhard ArnoldWe need not worry. We need not fear. A comfort is given to us: the Son of Man is coming. The hour is near, when he will come again. We shall not finish our proclamation, we shall not have traversed the whole of our planet, and Jesus will be there. Our pilgrimage will stretch from Germany to England, from England to America, to Japan and Russia, and back again to Germany. While we are thus traveling, Jesus will come.

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.

Peace is the flaming eye of the armies of God. It is the battle song of His heavenly hosts: “Glory to God in the highest! Peace on earth to men of good will.” In the strength of this peace the Messiah-King entered the walls of Jerusalem. He rode no warhorse to a battle in which blood would be shed on both sides. The animal of poverty and peace bore Him as He was met by the cry, “Hail to him who cometh in the name of the Lord. With Him is peace!”
