- Eberhard Arnold When the Time Was FulfilledChristmas did not come after a great hoard of people had completed something good, or because of the successful result of any human effort.

This is how the first Christmas came; in this way it always comes anew, both to us as individuals and to the whole world.

February 25,2026
The inner source of strength, which in silent stillness lets God himself speak and work, leads the believer from the decline of death to the dawn of life. This life forces its way outwards in the stream of creative spirit, and yet cannot lose itself in the outer world.

The root of life is the spirit of joy which starts to grow when life is kindled. When the soul is fired by the Holy Spirit, then it triumphs in the body; a great flame of new life leaps up.
