1 John 2:7-14
7 Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment, but an old commandment that you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word that you have heard. 8 At the same time, it is a new commandment that I am writing to you, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining. 9 Whoever says he is in the light and hates his brother is still in darkness. 10 Whoever loves his brother abides in the light, and in him there is no cause for stumbling. 11 But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes. 12 I am writing to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven for his name's sake. 13 I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, children, because you know the Father. 14 I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
I recently finished reading a biography of J. Heinrich Arnold entitled Homage to a Broken Man. I can honestly say it was one of the more powerful and beautiful books I have ever read. J. Heinrich Arnold was the son of Eberhard Arnold who founded the Bruderhof in Germany in the first half of the twentieth century. The Bruderhof, which is still in operation in various branches in the United States and around the world, began as an intentional effort at living out the Sermon on the Mount and teachings of Christ in the world. The story follows the ups and downs of the Bruderhof community with special focus on J. Heinrich Arnold and his family.
