The peace of Christmas depends on this freedom of obedience. The ground of obedience bears peace. Mary believed. She obeyed. The Spirit came. Christ was born. Mary listened to God’s word and treasured it in her heart.

- Eberhard Arnold, 13 July 1933 Worship Meeting at Rhön Bruderhof (1933), published in God's RevolutionOur expectation of God’s coming shall become an active readiness to stretch out our hands to him and be crucified with him – a readiness to be humbled by him, to lay down all our own power so that he alone has power over us. For in the midst of the days of wrath and judgment it is all the more important that the heart of Christ shine forth in the world and in world history.

The wise men of the East had heard the Word speaking within them and had seen it shining above them; and so they came to the Christ who, although he was still to be born, was already born in their hearts.

Jesus experienced the utmost humiliation. From the feed-trough and the manger at his birth to his death on the cross. May we return again to the only thing that counts: to the way of Jesus Christ who was humiliated, tried, and crucified with criminals for our sake. We want to ask God to let us become like Jesus and, like him, to revere the childlike spirit of love and humility.
