When the day of judgment masses the clouds closer and closer, we must be prepared to go the way of Jesus’ cross with a mind completely at peace. Just as perfect love was once revealed in the death of Jesus, when he was judged, so too the Church of Christ must still have added to it what is still lacking of Christ’s suffering. We have to go still deeper into the willing acceptance of the cross and death, and only when we are ready for this can we ask God to intervene and make history.

Yesterday's quote

The City-Church of God lives only in the pure air of its eternal hill.

The Pentecostal spring of the early Christian Church stands in the strongest contrast to the icily rigid Christianity of our day. Everyone feels that there a fresher wind blows and purer water springs, that there a stronger power and a more glowing warmth hold sway than is the case today among those who call themselves Christians.

God is life. He is so abounding in life that His nature is love. The life of God is the will for unity and community. The heart of His righteousness is the gathering love which draws together and unites, and makes everything communal which belongs to life. Where life is stronger than death, it is revealed as love.
