In Jesus’ resurrected presence, the invisible kingdom of God has become visible reality. The word has taken shape, love has become real. Jesus showed what love meant. His word and life proved that love knows no bounds. Love halts at no barrier. It can never be silenced, no matter what circumstances make it seem impossible to practice it. Nothing is impossible for the faith that springs from the fire of love.

- Eberhard Arnold Meeting transcript, October 1934The love of God is poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit. This is what really becoming human means. Besides, out of this love that which God wants must be created: our truly becoming human; the embodiment of the eternal Christ in complete love, in complete community, in complete peace, in complete unity! I am always so thankful when we are together with guests and friends and they, by their contrasting points of view, remind us that we may return anew to that which alone is decisive, to the way of Jesus Christ, who was humiliated.

“Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect” (Matt. 5:48). There is no other perfection, only that of love. So be aware of the things that thwart this love: property and worry! Wherever possessions are heaped up while elsewhere people go hungry and cold, there is no love. So gather no wealth for yourself. Do not worry. Worriers build life on wealth just as much as the wealthy. Look at the birds and flowers, and believe in the loving God, the Father who provides everything.

The first Christian community in Jerusalem was more than a historical happening: rather, it was here that the Sermon on the Mount came to life.…Jesus prophesied a kingdom, a rule of God that will overturn every unjust condition in the present order of the world, and make it new. To acknowledge this and to live according to it – this is God’s command for the hour.
