If Christ had done what you are doing who would have been spared?
Posted by tom | Sep 26, 2007Received this quote today. I have to open up Life Together to review how this quote is used. The other day I finished Corrie Ten Boom's The Hiding Place. When time permits, much to share about her sister Betsie. What a life of gratitude lived in the Presence of God and in the midst of suffering and the work of the evil one . . .
The Kingdom is to be in the midst of your enemies. And he who will not suffer this does not want to be of the Kingdom of Christ; he wants to be among friends, to sit among roses and lilies, not with the bad people but the devout people. O you blasphemers and betrayers of Christ! If Christ had done what you are doing who would have been spared?
Martin Luther
qtd. in Life Together by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
