Discipleship is Commitment

"Discipleship is commitment to the suffering Christ. Whether we really have found God’s peace will be shown by how we deal with the sufferings that will come upon us. There are many Christians who do, indeed, kneel before the cross of Jesus Christ, and yet reject and struggle against every tribulation in their lives. They believe they love the cross of Christ, and yet they hate that cross in their own lives." ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
