The love to Jesus, this burning personal love to God who has made himself known to us, is and remains the witness to the unity of all-embracing life. This love as the deepest and most heartfelt personal relationship finds its living expression in calling upon the One it loves. The truth and force of this love, however, lies in the decisive fact that it is God, really God, whom it meets in Christ. One who really believes in God as He is and works, will be urged again and again to communicate with Him.

The abyss between the two mortally opposed armies is the abyss between the present and the future, between the existent era and the coming epoch of history. Therefore the heroism of Jesus is at variance with the spirit of the age in every respect. But the character of His way is to subject all present conditions and relationship of life to the coming purpose of the future.

- Eberhard Arnold

How great are God and His kingdom! How great is the historical hour of world crisis, world distress and world catastrophe; how much greater still is God’s hour of judgment of the world and Christ’s hour of liberation that is coming! How burning our desire should be to know all these things more and more deeply and to share in them; how fervently we should expect and long for the day itself, the coming day, that will bring freedom and unity!
