Our community with one another consists solely in what Christ has done to each of us.
Dietrich BonhoefferBut discipleship never consists in this or that specific action: it is always a decision, either for or against Jesus Christ...Christ speaks to us exactly as he spoke to them. It was not as though they first recognized him as the Christ and then received his command. They believed his word and command and recognized him as the Christ--in that order.
Dietrich BonhoefferAny honours that come our way are only stolen from him to whom alone they really belong, the Lord who sent us.
Dietrich BonhoefferDiscipleship is not limited to what you can comprehend – it must transcend all comprehension. Plunge into the deep waters beyond your own comprehension, and I will help you to comprehend even as I do. Bewilderment is the true comprehension. Not to know where you are going is the true knowledge. My comprehension transcends yours.
