Dietrich Bonhoeffer Quotes About Christmas

Quotes about: Christmas

• A prison cell, in which one waits, hopes...and is completely dependent on the fact that
  the door of freedom has to be opened from the outside, is not a bad picture of Advent.

  Dietrich Bonhoeffer

  Christmas, Cells, Doors

• God is in the manger, wealth in poverty, light in darkness, succor in abandonment. No evil can befall us; whatever men may do to us, they cannot but serve the God who is secretly revealed as love and rules the world and our lives.

  Dietrich Bonhoeffer

  Christmas, Men, Light

• ...And then, just when everything is bearing down on us to such an extent that we can scarcely withstand it, the Christmas message comes to tell us that all our ideas are wrong, and that what we take to be evil and dark is really good and light because it comes from God. Our eyes are at fault, that is all.

  Dietrich Bonhoeffer

  Christmas, Eye, Dark
