It is well for us that at such hours the light is shining from the stable of Bethlehem, and that we are able to sense what it means that the kingdom of God was born as a little child when the time was fulfilled.

Without God the age sinks down into emptiness and lovelessness, into self-will and self-delusion. The revelation of the love of the Father is shown forth in Jesus.

- Eberhard Arnold

Jesus brought new tidings into this world—the message of another order of all things. For the present world order this message means judgment and revolution of the whole of life. This message concerns the coming reign of God, which must bring to an end the present age with its glorification of man.
