What is unique about the way Jesus has shown us is that no one but God is in authority, no one else has the right to say anything. So it is quite right to speak of God’s kingly rule. God alone has the rulership. He alone is King. That is the Kingdom of God.

- Eberhard Arnold When the Time Was FulfilledWe are convinced that there is One who will create peace and social justice for everyone. We expect him and thus long with a humble spirit that his rulership is recognized in every country. and when this happens, he will turn bloody weapons into tools for work, and we shall become true brothers and sisters. The Messiah King of peace and justice, the world ruler of love and joy will reign! This was the expectation of old, and this is what we think of when we approach the season of Jesus’ birth.

Yesterday's quote
November 17,2025
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.
