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 ArnoldEverything Jesus says and does makes the rule of peace foretold by the prophets a reality. It confirms the truth of all their promises. In the church of Jesus Christ, the long-prophesied community becomes reality now, exactly as it will in the coming kingdom. Now from all nations, the future citizens of the kingdom of peace stream together. They gather around Christ. A call to the power of perfect peace goes out from the church to the whole world.

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.
