Bonhoeffer was a very brave man but I can't quite grasp the meaning of this qoute.
Was it possibly a rebuff to 'arbeit macht frei', posted at the entrance to Auschwitz?

so good to hear fgrom you again my friend.

i think most of us think of difficulty and painful effort in connection with the word discipleship. bonhoeffer is challenging these associations. great love, great joy, great hope, and great peace are promised to all who will take up their cross and follow the lord jesus christ.

but you may have a very good point
regarding the sign at auschwitz.
