Bonhoeffer Quote for Good Friday

[C. Earl Mahan]

” The disciples bear the suffering laid on them only by the power of him who bears all suffering on the cross. As bearers of suffering, they stand in communion with the Crucified. They stand as strangers in the power of him who was so alien to the world that it crucified him. This is their comfort, or rather, he is their comfort, their comforter (cf. Luke 2;25) This alien community is comforted by the cross. It is comforted in that it is thrust out to the place where the comforter of Israel is waiting. Thus it finds its true home with the crucified Lord, here and in eternity.” (Dietrich Bonhoeffer - Discipleship)

[Kurt Huber]

Thank you for this quote.

Here's an Easter one for you:

"“From the resurrection of Christ a new and purifying wind can blow into the present world. If a few human beings would really believe this and would let themselves be moved by this in their earthly behavior, much would change. To live from resurrection – that indeed is the meaning of Easter.” - Dietrich Bonhoeffer (as found in the book "The Mystery of Easter" (quotes of Bonhoeffer))
