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!”
