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 ArnoldThe task of healing the sick and the purification of the body is the beginning. The raising of the dead and the driving out of demons is the peak of this authority. Here we must become silent because we have not received this authority in our age. We have not yet raised up bodies that were laid in the coffin or in the grave. But the apostleship of Jesus and his authority extend as far as this. If we look away from ourselves we must say, “The whole reality of the coming kingdom of God is given in apostleship.”

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.
