Alliance and ecumenism in the sense of Jesus means giving no rest until all Christians who confess Jesus Christ as LORD come together at least once a year, without competition, and celebrate a worship service. So that the world recognizes that Jesus is not a wooden nativity figure that has just been packed away with tinsel for the next eleven months, but the living, risen LORD, to whom all power in heaven and on earth has been given.
