Dietrich Bonhoeffer Quotes About Victory

Quotes about: Victory

• Jesus is no draughtsman of political blueprints, he is the one who vanquished evil through suffering. It looked as though evil had triumphed on the cross, but the real victory belonged to
  Jesus.

  Dietrich Bonhoeffer

  Jesus, Real, Evil

  Dietrich Bonhoeffer (2012). “The Cost of Discipleship”, p.144, Simon and Schuster

• Who am I? this or the other?
  Am I one person today and tomorrow another?
  Am I both at once? A hypocrite before others,
  and before myself a contemptible woebegone weakling?
  Or is something within me still like a beaten army fleeing
  in disorder from a victory already achieved?
  Who am I? They mock me, these lonely questions of mine.
  Whoever I am, Thou knowest, O God, I am thine!

  Dietrich Bonhoeffer

  Lonely, Hypocrite, Army

  Dietrich Bonhoeffer (2012). “The Cost of Discipleship”, p.20, Simon and Schuster

• The love for our enemies takes us along the way of the cross and into fellowship with the Crucified. The more we are driven along this road, the more certain is the victory of love over the enemy's hatred. For then it is not the disciple's own love, but the love of Jesus Christ alone, who for the sake of his enemies went to the cross and prayed for them as he hung there.

  Dietrich Bonhoeffer

  Jesus, Hatred, Enemy
