Obedient Believers

In the context of a church where everyone was accepted and freedom was strewn about by the boatload, regardless of how one lived, one young, brave, German Pastor spoke into the wilderness of an impenitent people, these words:

“Only he who believes is obedient and only he who is obedient believes.”

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was hanged in the concentration camp at Flossenbürg on April 9, 1945 for his participation in the small Protestant resistance movement about one month before the Allies won the Second World War in Europe.
