Bonhoeffer: discipleship and joy

Tuesday, January 9, 2024
Meditation:
    May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
    —Romans 15:5-6 (NIV)
Quotation:
    Only Jesus Christ, who bids us follow him, knows the journey’s end. But we do know that it will be a road of boundless mercy. Discipleship means joy.
    ... Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945), The Cost of Discipleship, Simon and Schuster, 1959, p. 38 (see the book)
    See also Rom. 15:5-6; Matt. 4:19; 8:22; 9:9; 16:24; 19:21; 28:8; Mark 1:17; 2:14; 8:34; 10:21; Luke 5:27; 9:23; 14:27; 18:22; John 1:43; 12:26; 1 Cor. 14:1; Tit. 3:4-7; 2 Tim. 2:15; 1 Pet. 2:20-21
Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, Your people rejoice in Your service.
