The hour of decision has come over the world; even the blind must see it! Therefore it is important now to get together, not for our sake, but the Ark is meant, that it may reach the shore and lay the foundations for a new world. It is meant in the sense that we belong wherever there is the seed of a new world, where the light of peace and unity has broken in through the dark layers which surround the world. All must come together and remain together, for it is the hour of decision, and no disunion can be tolerated. It is a matter of life or death, of love or hatred, of God or Satan.

Yesterday's quote

The Lord’s Supper and baptism both symbolize the deepest truths. To be flooded by water, to be cleansed, to be immersed in water, points to the powerful working and streaming down of the Holy Spirit. Death, burial, and resurrection point to the powers that go forth from Jesus’ own death and resurrection into all time and Eternity. They are the powers that unite us with his death and his resurrection.

Just as Jesus let his body be broken and his blood be shed, he wants you to give up being a separate grain of wheat, a separate grape. He wants you to throw yourself into the unity of the body, the unity of the flowing wine. Through the death of Christ this unity is created. The new Spirit flows and gives life to the body, making it of one heart and one mind. This is the mystery of Christ, of the Church, of full uniting. This is the Lord’s Supper.

Only those hearts have peace and only those people bring peace and cause peace who love the whole truth. The truth of God brings wisdom and genuineness, for it creates perfect love. Love is ultimate truth. It brings peace.

Love, as the peace of God, is the bond of perfection that unites in complete surrender and common activity all that was broken and scattered.
