They
(Disciples/Christians) are simply the servants and instruments of the Word;
they have no wish to be strong where the Word chooses to be weak. To try and force the Word on the world by
hook or by crook is to make the living Word of God into a mere idea…..Where the
Word is, there shall the disciple be.
Therein lies his true wisdom and his true simplicity. If it is obvious that the Word is being
rejected, if it is forced to yield its ground, the disciple must yield with
it. But if the Word carries on the
battle, the disciple must also stand his ground.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
