I Jesus brought fresh news to the world. It is news about a totally different order, news that implies judgment and complete reversal for the life of the present world-age. His news concerns the reign of God that must come to put an end to the present time, the time of man. Without God our age sinks down into hollowness and coldness of heart, into stubbornness and self-delusion. In Jesus the revelation of the Father's love was manifest.
Love wants to conquer and rule everything which once belonged to it.
Jesus calls, urging a divided mankind to sit together at one table, God's table, which has enough places for all. He invites men to a Meal of Fellowship and fetches His guests from the roadsides and skid rows. The future age comes as God's banquet, God's wedding-feast, God's reign of unity. It is a question of God becoming Lord again over His creation, and in it He shall consummate the victory of His Spirit of unity and love. Jesus called to God as to our Father that His primal will should alone prevail on this earth, that His age of the future in which He alone rules should draw near.
