Dietrich Bonhoeffer: A Story of Courage and Faith

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German theologian, is a Christian hero for many. Executed by the Nazis just days before the end of WWII for his participation in a plot to assassinate Hitler, Bonhoeffer is hailed as a 20th-century martyr. But Bonhoeffer struggled with a moral dilemma – his religious views were in stark contrast to the evil he saw all around him. He chose to face possible imprisonment and execution and to remain faithful to the principles of his belief in God. Across the political and theological spectrum, Bonhoeffer is celebrated as an icon of true Christianity and his theological writings are classics throughout the Christian world.

Why is the legacy of this man not taught In EVERY history book in the U.S. He is an ICON of what EVERY Pastor, Preacher, and REligious Leader should be.

My grandfather lived in the same period in the Netherlands.He was a member of the resistance in the netherlands.He hid a young jewish woman in his house.He was a christian and membre of the protestant church..He often said when we asked him why he took the risk to resist, Gods people(the jews)where in danger.And I could not sit on my hands and do nothing.I often thing of him and all those people who jeopardize their lifes to save others.I feel great respect for all that gave their lifes.

Thank you for this video of a true disciple of Christ.
When I picked up his book "The cost of discipleship" more than 30 years ago, what grabbed my attention was the words "when Christ calls a man, he bids him come and die".

That book influenced my life deeply. If we heed the call we indeed die in many instances, more than once, as we choose life in the spirit over the carnal life.

But once you realise "I have died with Christ, and it is no longer I who live but Christ lives in me", nothing can shake you. You become unshakable. Glory to God!

Thank you folks! I'm a pastor in rural America and really appreciate the tremendous testimony of our dear brother, as well as this challenge. God is so good, and Christ is worth it all!

Powerful story, may his life and all other Martyrs lives rest in eternal peace. Great upload.

[sherrylove]

We need men of such today. Ones who will stand up against evil.

[wizzardofpaws]

I read a biography of him. It was a pretty large book. I was glued to every page. What a blessed man he is.

[Freight_Train]

Bonhoeffer is one of those rare individuals whose deep faith and actions resonate across so many Christian denominations. Much respect to him. Thanks for this tribute.

"I have made a mistake coming to America. I must live through this difficult period in our national history with the Christian people of Germany. I will have no right to participate in the reconstruction of the Christian life in Germany after the war if I do not share the trials of this time with my people." Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

[sherigraham]

I admire Boenhoffer so much! What a tremendous man who lived his faith to the end. He is an example of true Christianity.

“We are not to simply bandage the wounds of victims beneath the wheels of injustice, we are to drive a spoke into the wheel itself.”
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Bonhoeffer was true hero of faith - Hallelujah 🙏🙌

Salvation is free but discipleship is costly.

[markpalka]

As a Christian myself, I highly recommend, and I urge my fellow Christians to
read, "The Cost Of Discipleship" by Dietrich Bonhoeffer! And here is another
word to the wise; Any government, or any institution and ideology (religious
or otherwise), which suppresses freedom of speech, freedom of expression,
and freedom of thought, has essentially nothing going for it!!

[margaretmcnally]

A story worth telling, an example worth emulating.

"For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." Philippians 1 verse 21

[inpursuitofholiness]

Wow! This is really inspiring. It is wrong to be silent when evil is taking place.

[sarahL]
