Jesus Christ has to suffer and be rejected... Suffering and being rejected are not the same.
Dietrich BonhoefferA Christian fellowship lives and exists by the intercession of its members for one another, or it collapses.
Dietrich BonhoefferAs Christ bore and received us as sinners so we in his fellowship may bear and receive sinners into the fellowship of Christ through the forgiving of sins.
Dietrich BonhoefferThe more genuine and the deeper our community becomes, the more will everything else between us recede, the more clearly and purely will Jesus Christ and His work become the one and only thing that is vital between us.
