The extreme confusion which has come over all the countries and peoples of the world must be transformed by the power from the inmost spring into a realm and a nation wherein peace has deeply penetrated, and where the powers of the coming kingdom of God are poured out through the Holy Spirit.

- Eberhard ArnoldWhen 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.

February 21,2026
Our life will become not narrower, but broader; not more limited, but more boundless; not more regulated, but more abundant; not more pedantic, but more bounteous; not more sober, but more enthusiastic; not more fainthearted, but more daring; not worse and more human, but filled with God and ever better; not sadder, but happier; not more incapable, but more creative. All this is Jesus and His Spirit of freedom! He is coming to us. Therefore let us forget. Let us forgive everyone, just as we must be forgiven everything, and go into the future radiant with joy!

The lighting up of God’s countenance in Jesus Christ gives this peace which is the deepest peace of the heart. As national peace it is justice, and as international peace it is love to one’s enemies.
