Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a German pastor and theologian who was killed by the Nazis during World War II for resisting Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich. As Bonhoeffer was leading his heroic resistance, he wrote the following:
"Christianity stands or falls with its revolutionary protest against violence, arbitrariness, and pride of power and with its plea for the weak. Christians are doing too little to make these points clear rather than too much. Christendom adjusts itself far too easily to the worship of power. Christians should give more offense, shock the world far more, than they are doing now. Christians should take a stronger stand in favor of the weak rather than considering first the possible right of the strong."
Bonhoeffer's words were absolutely correct.
And he paid for them with his life.
What are you doing today to shock the world?
